    Technically technically, in some number fields (not the natural numbers) it is correct, but since it doesn’t apply to all number systems it’s incorrect to say it’s the answer without also specifying you’re using a nonstandard number system.

    As someone else said, it’s used in quantum physics where a lot of fancy math is used in complex number fields.
