I know to encode and decode a integer number,but wen it comes to complex numbers i did have idea on how to start with for example

I have numbers

A=[2+3i;10+8i;5=2i];can you tell how to encode and decode these numbers,what algorithm must be used for these complex number process

What is your definition of encode and decode? I just use the numbers, I don't encode and decode them, unless perhaps I was writing an image or video in compressed format.

encode and ecode refers to encoding into bit strean like huffman or any techniques and decoding them
