    complex            cc(sqrt(3.), 1.);    // the complex number whose real part
                                        // is the square root of 3, and imaginary part is 1.
                                        // so that its phase is 30 degrees and amplitude is 2.

                                        // is 2 to the power 3.) and whose phase is 90 degrees (which
                                        // is 30 degrees times 3.).
