A quick question about Planck's constant

TL;DR

What does it mean to say that Planck's constant is an energy oscillator composed of imaginary and real numbers?
This is an expression I saw in a book.

@hongseok, "I saw in a book" is exactly equivalent to "I overheard some guy on a bus saying" and is not a valid reference here on PF. We would need to know EXACTLY what you read and who said it so please make specific citations for such questions.

Either the book is wrong or you have misunderstood what it was saying.
Planck's constant is a number not an oscillator, and it is real not imaginary.

It is true that complex numbers and oscillators appear through the mathematics of quantum mechanics, but there's no way of making sense of that without actually doing the math. For that you will need a proper textbook, there are a bunch of recommendations in other threads here.

What book?

Lets see what the OP says. I suspect the book is not in English, though. I searched for the quote and found nothing.

Thank you everyone. As you said, it is not a book written in English. After referring to other threads, I think I misunderstood the context of the book.
Thank you for answering my inexperienced questions with sincerity.

Solution of time independent Shroedinger equation with energy eugenvalue E holds oscillating factor of
e^{iE/ \hbar \ t} in time. That was my best guess.
