Showing output result in polar coordinate

When I solve 2 or more equations including complex coefficient(i), the result (root) is shown in rectangular coordinate system (a+bi) by default. But I need to show the result in polar coordinate system (r<θ)[< is used to mean angle sign). How to do this??

MATLAB does not provide that as an output format. You will need to create your own function to display the data in the format you want.

If you were working with your own object class then you could build a custom format for it.

ooh, thanks a lot for your comment.

If all you want is to see the data in polar coordinates you could use cart2pol to calculate the coordinates.

x = 3+4i;
[theta, r] = cart2pol(real(x), imag(x))

theta = 0.9273

r = 5

[re, im] = pol2cart(theta, r)

re = 3.0000

im = 4.0000
