Problem
A <a href=“https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_number” target=“_blank”>complex number</a> can be represented as a string on the form “real+imaginaryi” where:
real is the real part and is an integer in the range [-100, 100].
imaginary is the imaginary part and is an integer in the range [-100, 100].
i^2 == -1.
Given two complex numbers num1 and num2 as strings, return <em>a string of the complex number that represents their multiplication</em>.
Examples
Constraints
num1 and num2 are valid complex numbers.
