Forms the real part of a complex number.

Syntax

Real Expression

The syntax of the Real operator consists of the following elements:

Remarks

The data type of the result is that of the real data type corresponding to the complex argument. If Expression contains complex 64-bit floating point values, for instance, then the result contains real 64-bit floating point values.

The operator can process scalar values or entire data series and data matrices. If Expression is a data series or a data matrix, then the type conversion takes place on a per-element basis and the result is once again a data series or a data matrix. If a signal, a signal series or a space curve is converted, only the Y component is examined. The result then contains the unchanged X component and possibly the Z component of Expression. If Expression is a list, then the operation is executed for each item in the list and the result is also a list.

If Expression is a quantity, then its unit is taken and the result is also a quantity.
