Complex numbers calculation

[Didier Lachieze]

The variables you're using in your formula (W, C, R, L) are predefined global variables with a default value of 0, this is why you get 0 in both cases as the result is evaluated to 0.

You can get a symbolic form in CAS mode if you use variables that are not defined, for example with lower case names:

   

the same way you cannot store a symbolic formula in Z1 which is predefined as a complex numeric variable, but you can store it in z1.

       


Note: you don't need to take a picture of the screen of your Prime, you can get a screen shot from the connectivity kit with a right click on your Prime name in the left window, or directly from the virtual calc in the Edit menu.
