In electrical and electronic engineering we use the j letter as the imaginary unit =)

How is the character i / j of the imaginary unit defined in newrpl? and if it is possible to assign it to another variable name to use it, for example, as counters i, j in the for cycle.

For now i and j are both identical, because some people prefer different designation, they are the same imaginary unit.
The constants e, i and j use symbols from the Cyrillic alphabet, so there's no conflict with the normal letters.
e is in the e^x key, alpha plane and the white shift as expected.
The imaginary constants are in the number 7 key, I forgot what shift planes, try all of them but it's quite intuitive once you get used to.
