`im` as global constant

kurt · July 11, 2022, 3:18pm

Where is im as a global constant defined?
I’ve checked base.jl, complex.jl and mathconsts.jl. I cant seem to find it.
Help would be appreciated. Thank you

          Complex{T}(z::Complex) where {T<:Real} = Complex{T}(real(z),imag(z))
          (::Type{T})(z::Complex) where {T<:Real} =
