...Most existing complex number packages implement only immutable complex numbers, which is easy to understand given that immutable objects lead to more understandable code. Mutable complex numbers would avoid garbage-collection penalty and therefore be faster in calculations. Javafastcomplex implements both mutable and immutable complex numbers, and has a common interface for both, allowing users to write functions that can take either a mutable or an immutable complex number as an argument. Mutable complex numbers can then be used in the most performance-critical parts of the code with immutable complex numbers being used elsewhere. ...
