In mathematics we denote iota by i. iota means (-1)^(1/2). Then why do we denote iota by j in Python?

Question

Why 'j' not 'i', that's what I am saying. i is the most suited I think. This is about complex numbers in python
e.g
c_p = 2 + 5j
c_p2 = 2+ 3j
print(c_p+c_p2) #Prints 4 +8j

Answer 1

Is there any code you can share with us? This could be very helpful to clearly understand what you mean. Thanks!

Answer 2

Ooo about complex number. Ok complex nums in math use sytax i, but in python used j since in engineering used j instead of i.

You can read about it from following link si ce my english is not good for correct explanation.
