.NET Framework (current version)

Returns the additive inverse of a specified complex number.

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

Syntax

public:
static Complex Negate(
	Complex value
)

Parameters

value: Type: System.Numerics::Complex
A complex number.

Return Value

Type: System.Numerics::Complex

The result of the Real and Imaginary components of the value parameter multiplied by -1.

The additive inverse of a complex number is a complex number that produces a value of Zero when it is added to the original complex number. This method returns a complex number in which the real and imaginary components of the original complex number are multiplied by -1.

The Negate method is implemented for languages that do not support custom operators. Its behavior is identical to negation using the unary negation operator, UnaryNegation.
