Complex::Divide Method (Complex, Complex)

.NET Framework (current version)

Divides one complex number by another and returns the result.

Namespace: System.Numerics
Assembly: System.Numerics (in System.Numerics.dll)

Syntax

public:
static Complex Divide(
	Complex dividend,
	Complex divisor
)

Parameters

dividend: Type: System.Numerics::Complex
The complex number to be divided.

divisor: Type: System.Numerics::Complex
The complex number to divide by.

Return Value

Type: System.Numerics::Complex

The quotient of the division.

Remarks

The division of a complex number, a + bi, by a second complex number, number, c + di, takes the following form:

((ac + bd) / (c2 + d2)) + ((bc - ad) / (c2 + d2)i

If the calculation of the quotient results in an overflow in either the real or imaginary component, the value of that component is either Double::PositiveInfinity or Double::NegativeInfinity.

The Divide method can be used by languages that do not support custom operators. Its behavior is identical to division using the division operator.

Examples

The following example divides a complex number by each element in an array of complex numbers.
