Remarks

The Multiply method defines the operation of the multiplication operator for complex numbers. It enables code such as the following:

Dim c1 As Complex = Complex.One
Dim c2 As New Complex(1.4, 2.3)
Dim c3 As Complex = c1 * c2

Complex c1 = Complex.One;
Complex c2 = new Complex(1.4, 2.3);
Complex c3 = c1 * c2;

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

(ac - bd) + (ad + bc)i

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

Languages that do not support custom operators can call the Multiply method instead.
