A **Gaussian integer** is a complex number of the form \\( a + bi \\), where \\( a \\) and \\( b \\) are both integers, and \\( i \\) is the imaginary unit with the property that \\( i^2 = -1 \\). In other words, Gaussian integers are the set of complex numbers whose real and imaginary parts are both whole numbers.
