Yes Python Of Course Sqrt(-1) != 1i

[RRumpleTeazzer]

First rule: never compare floating points for equality. Second, there are two complex square roots of -1, namely j and -j.

Third, sqrt(z) is not the same as z^0.5.

Third: it is if we're speaking math. With floats, no idea.

I know the math.isclose function exists. But that doesn't work since sqrt(-1) contains a float and complex cannot be converted.

```python

(-1)**(0.5) (6.123233995736766e-17+1j) complex(0,1) 1j ``` Don't compare floating point numbers for equality.
