* time dependent codes `td-wslda`: mixture of [C99](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C99) and [CUDA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA).
In general CUDA is compatible with C99. Thus, in practice when editing files (*predefines.h*, *problem-definition.h* or *logger.h*) you can use C language irrespectively to code variants (`st` or `td`). There is only one exception related to function `delta_ext` in *problem-definition.h* file. It declaration is
In general, CUDA is compatible with C99.

The change arises from incompatibility of complex type in C99 and CUDA. Namely:
The change arises from the incompatibility between the complex type in C99 and that in CUDA. Namely:
* `st-wslda`: return type must be C99 [double complex](https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/numeric/complex)
* `td-wslda`: return type must be compatible with [CUDA Complex](https://thrust.github.io/doc/group__complex__numbers.html)
Below we provide example of the same code written in both standards:
