# Dunno

Windows calculator didn't seem to know

Is it 1?

# No
because 1 squared = 1 NOT minus one. However minus one squared = 1.

# I should know the answer to that
there is a term for such numbers. However I have forgotten it.

I am going to leave now after a stonking 9 1/2 hours on here.
Thank you for your company!

# It's i or j
depending on which letter you like best.
Personally I'm an i fan.

i^2 = -1
