exp(1+2j)
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: can\'t conve         


        

Answer 1

You may want to import e from the math module to do this.

For example:

>>> from math import e
>>> print e ** (1+2j)
(-1.1312043837568135+2.4717266720048188j)

Answer 2

You need a complex version of this function:

cmath.exp(1+2j)
