I might actually be able to come up with an example where it would be used; the '=='
You guys have been very helpful.
I was wondering if someone can point me in the direction of what i should be looking into when I want to used complex numbers?
Here's an obviously wrong code for it i have so far.
double sqrt = (Math.sqrt(Math.pow(b, 2) - 4*a*c));
//System.out.println("We should then take the square root of ((b^2) - 4ac): " + sqrt);
//if (sqrt < 0) {
// Math.abs(Math.sqrt(Math.pow(b, 2) - 4*a*c));
//}
if (sqrt < 0) {
System.out.println("You have entered an equation with one or more complex numbers. i = the sqare root of -1");
double numImaginary = (sqrt * Math.pow(1, -2));
System.out.println("We should then take the square root of ((b^2) - 4ac)= " + sqrt + "i");
}
else {
System.out.println("We should then take the square root of ((b^2) - 4ac)= " + sqrt);
}

//Must add conditional statement for imaginary numbers
//Must add conditional statements if both x's = each other done~
//Add statement if only one zero
//Possibly edit program to have user enter correct answer in order to continue*
