Some programming languages provide a complex data type for complex number storage and arithmetic as a built-in (primitive) data type.
A complex variable or value is usually represented as a pair of floating-point numbers. Languages that support a complex data type usually provide special syntax for building such values, and extend the basic arithmetic operations ('+', '−', '×', '÷') to act on them. These operations are usually translated by the compiler into a sequence of floating-point machine instructions or into library calls. Those languages may also provide support for other operations, such as formatting, equality testing, etc. As in mathematics, those languages often interpret a floating-point value as equivalent to a complex value with a zero imaginary part.
The FORTRAN COMPLEX type.
The C99 standard of the C programming language includes complex data types and complex-math functions in the standard library header .
The C++ standard library provides a complex template class as well as complex-math functions in the header.
The Go programming language has built-in types complex64 (each component is 32-bit float) and complex128 (each component is 64-bit float).
The Perl core module provides support for complex numbers.
Python provides the built-in complex type. Imaginary number literals can be specified by appending a "j". Complex-math functions are provided in the standard library module cmath.
Ruby provides a class in the standard library module .
OCaml supports complex numbers with the standard library module .
Haskell supports complex numbers with the standard library module (previously called ).
Mercury provides complex numbers with full operator overloading support in the extras distribution, using .
Java does not have a standard complex number class, but there exist a number of incompatible free implementations of a complex number class:
The Apache Commons Math library provides complex numbers for Java with its class.
The JScience library has a number class.

Julia is a high-level, general-purpose dynamic programming language. Its features are well suited for numerical analysis and computational science. Distinctive aspects of Julia's design include a type system with parametric polymorphism in a dynamic programming language; with multiple dispatch as its core programming paradigm. Julia supports concurrent, (composable) parallel and distributed computing (with or without using MPI or the built-in corresponding to "OpenMP-style" threads), and direct calling of C and Fortran libraries without glue code.
In computer science, a record (also called a structure, struct, or compound data) is a basic data structure. Records in a database or spreadsheet are usually called "rows". A record is a collection of fields, possibly of different data types, typically in a fixed number and sequence. The fields of a record may also be called members, particularly in object-oriented programming; fields may also be called elements, though this risks confusion with the elements of a collection.
R is a programming language for statistical computing and graphics supported by the R Core Team and the R Foundation for Statistical Computing. Created by statisticians Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman, R is used among data miners, bioinformaticians and statisticians for data analysis and developing statistical software. The core R language is augmented by a large number of extension packages containing reusable code and documentation. According to user surveys and studies of scholarly literature databases, R is one of the most commonly used programming languages in data mining.
