Complex Implicit Conversion (Int16 to Complex)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Widening Operator CType ( _
    value As Short _
) As Complex

public static implicit operator Complex (
    short value
)

Remarks

The overloads of the Implicit operator define the types from which a compiler can automatically convert a Complex object without an explicit casting operator (in C#) or a call to a conversion function (in Visual Basic). They are widening conversions that do not involve data loss and do not throw an OverflowException.

This overload lets the compiler handle conversions from a signed 16-bit integer to a complex number, as the following example shows. Note that the result of the conversion is a complex number whose real part is equal to the signed 16-bit integer and whose imaginary part is equal to zero.

Dim shortValue As Short = 16024
Dim c1 As System.Numerics.Complex = shortValue
outputBlock.Text &= c1.ToString() + vbCrLf
' The example displays the following output:
'       (16024, 0)

short shortValue = 16024;
System.Numerics.Complex c1 = shortValue;
outputBlock.Text += c1 + "\n";
// The example displays the following output:
//       (16024, 0)
