copy!

Usage

copy!(z,x,y)

Signature

copy!:

(%, R, R) $\to$ %

Parameter	Type	Description
z	%	a complex
x, y	R	real and imaginary parts

Description

Replaces z by $x + y \sqrt{-1}$ and return z, where the storage used by z is allowed to be destroyed or reused, so z is lost after this call.

Remarks

This call may cause z to be destroyed, so do not use it unless z has been locally allocated, and is guaranteed not to share space with other elements. Some functions are not necessarily copying their arguments and can thus create memory aliases.
