How to convert a string to a complex number (complex128) using strconv in Golang?

In Golang, the strconv package does not provide a direct method to convert a string to a complex number. However, you can achieve this by manually parsing the string and then converting it to a complex number. Here's an example:

package main import ( "fmt" "strconv" "strings" ) func main() { str := "3+4i" // Example string representing a complex number // Splitting the string into real and imaginary parts parts := strings.Split(str, "+") if len(parts) != 2 { fmt.Println("Invalid complex number format") return } // Parsing real and imaginary parts realPart, err := strconv.ParseFloat(parts[0], 64) if err != nil { fmt.Println("Error parsing real part:", err) return } imaginaryPart, err := strconv.ParseFloat(strings.TrimSuffix(parts[1], "i"), 64) if err != nil { fmt.Println("Error parsing imaginary part:", err) return } // Creating the complex number complexNum := complex(realPart, imaginaryPart) fmt.Println(complexNum) }

This example takes a string in the format "a+bi", splits it into real and imaginary parts, converts both parts to float64 using strconv.ParseFloat(), and finally creates a complex number using the complex() function.

Note that this code assumes that the format of the string is always in the form "a+bi". If you need to handle more complex formats, you might need to modify the parsing logic accordingly.
