Complex.Multiply Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Numerics

Assembly:

System.Runtime.Numerics.dll

Multiplies a specified number by another specified number, where at least one of them is a complex number, and the other could be a double-precision real number.

Overloads

Multiply(Double, Complex)	Returns the product of a double-precision real number and a complex number.
Multiply(Complex, Double)	Returns the product of a complex number and a double-precision real number.
Multiply(Complex, Complex)	Returns the product of two complex numbers.

Examples

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

using System;
using System.Numerics;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      Complex number1 = new Complex(8.3, 17.5);
      Complex[] numbers = { new Complex(1.4, 6.3),
                            new Complex(-2.7, 1.8),
                            new Complex(3.1, -2.1) };
      foreach (Complex number2 in numbers)
         Console.WriteLine("{0} x {1} = {2}", number1, number2,
                           Complex.Multiply(number1, number2));
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       (8.3, 17.5) x (1.4, 6.3) = (-98.63, 76.79)
//       (8.3, 17.5) x (-2.7, 1.8) = (-53.91, -32.31)
//       (8.3, 17.5) x (3.1, -2.1) = (62.48, 36.82)

Module Example
   Public Sub Main()
      Dim number1 As New Complex(8.3, 17.5)
      Dim numbers() As Complex = { New Complex(1.4, 6.3), 
                                   New Complex(-2.7, 1.8), 
                                   New Complex(3.1, -2.1) }
      For Each number2 In numbers
         Console.WriteLine("{0} x {1} = {2}", number1, number2, 
                           Complex.Multiply(number1, number2))
      Next
   End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'       (8.3, 17.5) x (1.4, 6.3) = (-98.63, 76.79)
'       (8.3, 17.5) x (-2.7, 1.8) = (-53.91, -32.31)
'       (8.3, 17.5) x (3.1, -2.1) = (62.48, 36.82)

Remarks

The Multiply methods allow performing multiplication operations that involve complex numbers.

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.

The Multiply method is implemented for languages that do not support custom operators. Its behavior is identical to multiplication using the multiplication operator.
