Complex.ToString Method

The default string representation of a complex number displays the number using its Cartesian coordinates in the form (a, b), where a is the real part of the complex number, and b is its imaginary part. Both a and b are formatted using the general format specifier ("G") and the conventions of the current system culture.

The following example displays the string representation of several complex numbers. The output uses the formatting conventions of the English - United States ("en-US") culture, which, in this case, is the current system culture.

Module Example
   Public Sub Main()
      Dim c() As Complex = { New Complex(17.3, 14.1), 
                             New Complex(-18.9, 147.2), 
                             New Complex(13.472, -18.115), 
                             New Complex(-11.154, -17.002) }
      For Each c1 As Complex In c
         Console.WriteLine(c1.ToString())
      Next                          
   End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'       (17.3, 14.1)
'       (-18.9, 147.2)
'       (13.472, -18.115)
