The hermitian indexing function can be used to construct rtable objects of type Array or Matrix .

In the construction of 2-dimensional objects, the hermitian indexing function specifies that the (i, j)th element is equal to the complex conjugate of the (j, i)th element.

$M≔\mathrm{Matrix}\left(1..3\,1..3\,\mathrm{shape}=\mathrm{hermitian}\right)$

$M≔\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0& 0& 0\\ 0& 0& 0\\ 0& 0& 0\end{array}\right]$

$M\left[1,2\right]≔1+2\mathrm{I}$

$M_{1,2}≔1+2\mathrm{I}$

$M$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0& 1+2\mathrm{I}& 0\\ 1-2\mathrm{I}& 0& 0\\ 0& 0& 0\end{array}\right]$
