Description

The ►Rect 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 a+b𝑖 mode were enabled, even when it's not. It also works with lists.

Ans►Rect
    i

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 rectangular form, use real( and imag(.
