Complex.Multiply Operator

Definition

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)

Multiplies a specified double-precision real number by a specified complex number.

Multiply(Complex, Double)

Multiplies the specified complex number by a specified double-precision real number.

Multiply(Complex, Complex)

Multiplies two specified complex numbers.

Remarks

The Multiply operator allows performing multiplication operations that involve complex numbers. It enables code such as the following:

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

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 equivalent group of methods instead.

The Multiply operators that receive one double are more efficient than the operators that receive two Complex numbers.

Multiply(Double, Complex)

Multiplies a specified double-precision real number by a specified complex number.

public:
 static System::Numerics::Complex operator *(double left, System::Numerics::Complex right);
public static System.Numerics.Complex operator * (double left, System.Numerics.Complex right);
static member ( * ) : double * System.Numerics.Complex -> System.Numerics.Complex
Public Shared Operator * (left As Double, right As Complex) As Complex

Parameters

left
Double

The double-precision real value to multiply.

right
Complex

The complex value to multiply.

Returns

The product of left and right, as a complex number.

Remarks

The multiplication of a real number (which can be regarded as the complex number a + 0i) and a complex number (c + di) takes the following form:

ac + adi

Languages that do not support custom operators can call the Complex.Multiply(Double, Complex) equivalent method instead.
