The Division method defines the division operation for complex numbers. It enables code such as the following:

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

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

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

If the division 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 and operator overloading can call the Divide method instead.
