Apart from that it's sometimes more straightforward to work with them than vectors.

in this example, "create complex" component are used well. i will play with it and try to understand the complex number better.

  This is called the mandelbrot set. It is basically a group of points on the complex plane( a plane of imaginary numbers). If one would like to plot some of these points, he would need a function that processes imaginary numbers.
