public:
static Complex operator -(
	Complex left,
	Complex right

left
Type: System.Numerics::Complex

The value to subtract from (the minuend).

right
Type: System.Numerics::Complex

The value to subtract (the subtrahend).

Return Value

Type: System.Numerics::Complex

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.

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

The subtraction of a complex number, c + di, from another complex number, a + bi, takes the following form:

(a - c) + (b - d)i

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