Remarks

The string representation of the complex number returned by this method displays the number using its Cartesian coordinates in the form <a; b> (or (a, b) in .NET 7 and earlier versions), where a is the real part of the complex number, and b is its imaginary part. Both a and b are formatted using the format string specified by format. The format parameter can be any valid standard numeric format specifier, or any combination of custom numeric format specifiers. If format is equal to String.Empty or is null, the real and imaginary parts of the complex number are formatted with the general format specifier ("G"). If format is any other value, the method throws a FormatException.

.NET provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following articles:

For more information about numeric format strings, see Standard Numeric Format Strings and Custom Numeric Format Strings.
For more information about formatting in .NET, see Formatting Types.

The provider parameter is an IFormatProvider implementation. Its GetFormat method returns a NumberFormatInfo object that provides culture-specific information about the format of the real and imaginary numbers in the returned string. Depending on the format parameter, this object controls symbols such as the negative sign, the group separator, and the decimal point symbol in the output string. If provider is null, the returned string is formatted using the NumberFormatInfo object of the current culture.

The provider parameter can be one of the following:

A CultureInfo object that represents the culture that supplies formatting information
The NumberFormatInfo object that supplies formatting information.
A custom object that implements the IFormatProvider interface. Its GetFormat method returns the NumberFormatInfo object that supplies formatting information.

Remarks

.NET provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following articles:

For more information about numeric format strings, see Standard Numeric Format Strings and Custom Numeric Format Strings.
For more information about formatting in .NET, see Formatting Types.

The format of the returned string is determined by the NumberFormatInfo object for the current culture. Depending on the format parameter, this object controls symbols such as the negative sign, the group separator, and the decimal point symbol in the output string. To provide formatting information for cultures other than the current culture, call the ToString(String, IFormatProvider) overload.

Remarks

The provider parameter is an IFormatProvider implementation. Its GetFormat method returns a NumberFormatInfo object that provides culture-specific information about the format of the real and imaginary numbers in the returned string. If provider is null, the returned string is formatted using the NumberFormatInfo object of the current culture.

The provider parameter can be one of the following:

A CultureInfo object that represents the culture that supplies formatting information
The NumberFormatInfo object that supplies formatting information.
A custom object that implements the IFormatProvider interface. Its GetFormat method returns the NumberFormatInfo object that supplies formatting information.

Applies to

ToString()

Source:: Complex.cs

Source:: Complex.cs

Source:: Complex.cs

Converts the value of the current complex number to its equivalent string representation in Cartesian form.

public:
 override System::String ^ ToString();

public override string ToString ();

override this.ToString : unit -> string

Public Overrides Function ToString () As String

Returns

String

The string representation of the current instance in Cartesian form.

Examples

The following example displays the string representation of several complex numbers. The output uses the formatting conventions of the English - United States ("en-US") culture, which, in this case, is the current system culture.

using System;
using System.Numerics;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      Complex[] c = { new Complex(17.3, 14.1),
                      new Complex(-18.9, 147.2),
                      new Complex(13.472, -18.115),
                      new Complex(-11.154, -17.002) };
      foreach (Complex c1 in c)
         Console.WriteLine(c1.ToString());
   }
}
// The example display the following output:
//       (17.3, 14.1)
//       (-18.9, 147.2)
//       (13.472, -18.115)
//       (-11.154, -17.002)

let c =
    [ Complex(17.3, 14.1)

      Complex(13.472, -18.115)
      Complex(-11.154, -17.002) ]

for c1 in c do

// The example display the following output:

      For Each c1 As Complex In c
         Console.WriteLine(c1.ToString())
      Next

End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'       (17.3, 14.1)
'       (-18.9, 147.2)
'       (13.472, -18.115)
'       (-11.154, -17.002)

Remarks

The default string representation of a complex number displays the number using its Cartesian coordinates in the form <a; b> (or (a, b) in .NET 7 and earlier versions), where a is the real part of the complex number, and b is its imaginary part. Both a and b are formatted using the general format specifier ("G") and the conventions of the current system culture.
