Details:


With a single-precision complex matrix, e.g.


Y = i * ones(2, 2, "single");


An error is returned when setting an entry to a real value:


Y(1, 1) = 3

error: operator =: no conversion for assignment of `scalar' to indexed `float
complex matrix'
error: assignment failed, or no method for `float complex matrix = scalar'


Setting to a complex or imaginary value works fine, as in


Y(1, 1) = 5 + 2*i

Y =

   5 + 2i   0 + 1i
   0 + 1i   0 + 1i
