For example, 3+5j
The Python App gives an error message here.
Could someone for me test / try this and explain what I'm doing wrong ?

I tested it on the Numworks virtual app and got also an error message, this may be a limitation of Micropython.

Complex() should accept either a string or a number as input.

On the Numworks, it only accepts a number.

Code:


x=5+1j;
x=complex(x);  #this works
x=complex(5,1) #this works

x="5+1j"
x=complex(x) #this doesnt

Since input() returns a string, this also doesn't work.
