[jira] Updated: (MATH-221) Result of multiplying and equals for
complex numbers is wrong
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-221?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Dieter Roth updated MATH-221:
-----------------------------
Description:
Hi.
The bug relates on complex numbers.
The methods "multiply" and "equals" of the class Complex are involved.
mathematic background: (0,i) * (-1,0i) = (0,-i).
little java program + output that shows the bug:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
import org.apache.commons.math.complex.*;
public class TestProg {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ComplexFormat f = new ComplexFormat();
Complex c1 = new Complex(0,1);
Complex c2 = new Complex(-1,0);
Complex res = c1.multiply(c2);
Complex comp = new Complex(0,-1);
System.out.println("res: "+f.format(res));
System.out.println("comp: "+f.format(comp));
System.out.println("res=comp: "+res.equals(comp));
}
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
res: -0 - 1i
comp: 0 - 1i
res=comp: false
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think the problem could be "multiply" method that gives (-0,-1i) instead of (0,-1i).
Or if you think thats right, the equals method has to be modified.
Good Luck
