gh-109218: Improve documentation for the complex() constructor (GH-119687)
* Remove the equivalence with real+imag*1j which can be incorrect in corner cases (non-finite numbers, the sign of zeroes). * Separately document the three roles of the constructor: parsing a string, converting a number, and constructing a complex from components. * Document positional-only parameters of complex(), float(), int() and bool() as positional-only. * Add examples for complex() and int(). * Specify the grammar of the string for complex(). * Improve the grammar of the string for float(). * Describe more explicitly the behavior when real and/or imag arguments are complex numbers. (This will be deprecated in future.)

A Python complex number ``z`` is stored internally using *rectangular*

|

|

Return a complex number with the value *real* + *imag*\*1j or convert a string
|
||||
or number to a complex number. If the first parameter is a string, it will
|
||||
be interpreted as a complex number and the function must be called without a
|
||||
second parameter. The second parameter can never be a string. Each argument
|
||||
may be any numeric type (including complex). If *imag* is omitted, it
|
||||
defaults to zero and the constructor serves as a numeric conversion like
|
||||
:class:`int` and :class:`float`. If both arguments are omitted, returns
|
||||
``0j``.
|
||||
Convert a single string or number to a complex number, or create a
|
||||
complex number from real and imaginary parts.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
.. doctest::
|
||||
|
||||
>>> complex('+1.23')
|
||||
(1.23+0j)
|
||||
>>> complex('-4.5j')
|
||||
-4.5j
|
||||
>>> complex('-1.23+4.5j')
|
||||
(-1.23+4.5j)
|
||||
>>> complex('\t( -1.23+4.5J )\n')
|
||||
(-1.23+4.5j)
|
||||
>>> complex('-Infinity+NaNj')
|
||||
(-inf+nanj)
|
||||
>>> complex(1.23)
|
||||
(1.23+0j)
|
||||
>>> complex(imag=-4.5)
|
||||
-4.5j
|
||||
>>> complex(-1.23, 4.5)
|
||||
(-1.23+4.5j)
|
||||
|
||||
If the argument is a string, it must contain either a real part (in the
|
||||
same format as for :func:`float`) or an imaginary part (in the same
|
||||
format but with a ``'j'`` or ``'J'`` suffix), or both real and imaginary
|
||||
parts (the sign of the imaginary part is mandatory in this case).
|
||||
The string can optionally be surrounded by whitespaces and the round
|
||||
parentheses ``'('`` and ``')'``, which are ignored.
|
||||
The string must not contain whitespace between ``'+'``, ``'-'``, the
|
||||
``'j'`` or ``'J'`` suffix, and the decimal number.
|
||||
For example, ``complex('1+2j')`` is fine, but ``complex('1 + 2j')`` raises
|
||||
:exc:`ValueError`.
|
||||
More precisely, the input must conform to the :token:`~float:complexvalue`
|
||||
production rule in the following grammar, after parentheses and leading and
|
||||
trailing whitespace characters are removed:
|
||||
|
||||
.. productionlist:: float
|
||||
complexvalue: `floatvalue` |
|
||||
: `floatvalue` ("j" | "J") |
|
||||
: `floatvalue` `sign` `absfloatvalue` ("j" | "J")
|
||||
|
||||
If the argument is a number, the constructor serves as a numeric
|
||||
conversion like :class:`int` and :class:`float`.
|
||||
For a general Python object ``x``, ``complex(x)`` delegates to
|
||||
``x.__complex__()``. If :meth:`~object.__complex__` is not defined then it falls back
|
||||
to :meth:`~object.__float__`. If :meth:`!__float__` is not defined then it falls back
|
||||
``x.__complex__()``.
|
||||
If :meth:`~object.__complex__` is not defined then it falls back
|
||||
to :meth:`~object.__float__`.
|
||||
If :meth:`!__float__` is not defined then it falls back
|
||||
to :meth:`~object.__index__`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
If two arguments are provided or keyword arguments are used, each argument
|
||||
may be any numeric type (including complex).
|
||||
If both arguments are real numbers, return a complex number with the real
|
||||
component *real* and the imaginary component *imag*.
|
||||
If both arguments are complex numbers, return a complex number with the real
|
||||
component ``real.real-imag.imag`` and the imaginary component
|
||||
``real.imag+imag.real``.
|
||||
If one of arguments is a real number, only its real component is used in
|
||||
the above expressions.
|
||||
|
||||
When converting from a string, the string must not contain whitespace
|
||||
around the central ``+`` or ``-`` operator. For example,
|
||||
``complex('1+2j')`` is fine, but ``complex('1 + 2j')`` raises
|
||||
:exc:`ValueError`.
|
||||
If all arguments are omitted, returns ``0j``.
