Error While Converting Complex Number to Float
If we try to change a complex number, like 3 + 4j, directly into float using float(), it will result in an error. This is because complex numbers consist of both real and imaginary parts, and converting them to float is not allowed in Python. The error occurs because there is no straightforward way to represent the entire complex number as a single float number.

Output
Error: can't convert complex to float
Python Complex to Float
Complex numbers have two parts one that is a regular number (real) and another that is like a special extra part (imaginary). Floats, on the flip side, are straightforward numbers with decimals. So, complex numbers are a bit fancy with both real and imaginary bits, while float are just regular numbers with dots.
