# Input from the user

How It Works:
1. Input Handling: The program takes input from the user and tries to convert it into
a complex number.
2. Type Checking: The program checks if the number is of type complex using
isinstance().
– For complex numbers:
• If both the real and imaginary parts are zero, it is considered “Neutral
(Zero)”.
• If not, the program outputs that the number is neither positive nor
negative, as these concepts don’t directly apply to complex numbers.
– For real numbers:
• Positive if the number is greater than zero.
• Negative if the number is less than zero.
• Neutral if the number is exactly zero.
3. Output: The program prints whether the number is positive, negative, or neutral.
This approach ensures that the program correctly handles both real and complex numbers.
