Description

Complex z1, z2, z3;

// assign values to the two complex numbers
z1 = new Complex(1.0, 0.0);
z2 = new Complex(Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY, Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY);

// multiply the two complex numbers
z3 = z1.multiply(z2);

The result is that both the real and imaginary part of z3 are NaN. Isn't it somewhat desirable that both parts of the complex should be Infinity?
