Description

The ►Polar command can be used when displaying a complex number on the home screen, or with the Disp and Pause commands. It will then format the number as though r𝑒^θ𝑖 mode were enabled. It also works with lists.

i
    i
i►Polar
    1𝑒^(1.570796327i)
{1,i}►Polar
    {1 1𝑒^(1.570796327i)}

It will also work when displaying a number by putting it on the last line of a program by itself. It does not work with Output(, Text(, or any other more complicated display commands.

To actually separate a number into the components of polar form, use abs( and angle(.
