Can anyone advise hoe I can go from a signed 16 bit int to a complex number ?
eg. -32000 to complex number equivalent ? [import]uid: 97524 topic_id: 18933 reply_id: 318933[/import]

To get a complex number you have to call the function complex.to( num )
Haven’t used it though… you will have to try it out! [import]uid: 64174 topic_id: 18933 reply_id: 72934[/import]
thanks man! [import]uid: 97524 topic_id: 18933 reply_id: 72941[/import]
The function (via Satheesh’s link) wont work “as is”. It might be possible to make it work, (loadstring isn’t supported in Corona). let us know how you get on however [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 18933 reply_id: 73227[/import]
I’m finding corona’s limitations sooo frustrating. This is my first time using it and it keeps throwing obstacles back at me!!

Q1 is there any other way to convert a 16bit signed int to a complex number in Corona?
Q2 Is there a list of other stuff Corona doesn’t support like loadString?

In the complex numbers module,something like
[lua]local temp = tonumber(imag)
if temp then
return setmetatable( { 0,temp }, complex_meta )
end[/lua]
instead of
[lua]imag = loadstring(“return tonumber(”…imag…")")
if imag then
return setmetatable( { 0,imag() }, complex_meta )
end[/lua]
should work no? I am no Lua expert… just asking…

I appreciate your attempt Satheesh, but I’m no good at complex numbers. I’m afraid I can’t comment on your ‘mod’ =)
Anyone know if Numeric Lua works with Corona ?

satheesh, I’m going to give your code a try
there’s only 4 or 5 instances of loadstring in complex.lua so it might work!
what about this line?
loadstring(“return tonumber(”…sign…imag…")")
is it possible to message you direct? I’d really like to get this working. [import]uid: 97524 topic_id: 18933 reply_id: 73487[/import]
[lua]local temp = tonumber(sign…imag)[/lua]
should do…
P.S I really have no idea whether this would work or not…So don’t blame me if it doesn’t 
[import]uid: 64174 topic_id: 18933 reply_id: 73488[/import]
I’m happy to try!
sorry I mean what is…
imag = loadstring(“return tonumber(”…sign…imag…")")

@Dax
I suggested the modification to that complex numbers in github and the author himself did a modification to eliminate loadstring…

Wonderful guy! 
Hope that works! [import]uid: 64174 topic_id: 18933 reply_id: 73731[/import]
