separate real and imaginary part of a complex number in python
arguments, definition, filenames, object, python
Solution
Y = (-5.79829066331+4.55640490659j)
Z = (Y.real, Y.imag)
A = Y.real
B = Y.imag

Problem
I have need to extract the real and imaginary elements of a complex number in python. I know how to make a list into a complex number... but not the other way around. I have this: ``` Y = (-5.79829066331+4.55640490659j) ``` I need: ``` Z = (-5.79829066331, 4.55640490659) ``` and I will also need each part if there is a way to go directly without going by way of Z: ``` A = -5.79829066331 B = 4.55640490659 ``` https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#complex Thanks!
