Complex.ToString Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

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

Namespace:  System.Numerics
Assembly:  System.Numerics (in System.Numerics.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides Function ToString As String
public override string ToString()

Return Value

Type: System.String
The string representation of the current instance in Cartesian form.

Remarks

The default string representation of a complex number displays the number using its Cartesian coordinates in the form (a, b), 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.

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.

Imports System.Numerics

Module Example
   Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      Dim c() As Complex = { New Complex(17.3, 14.1), 
                             New Complex(-18.9, 147.2), 
                             New Complex(13.472, -18.115), 
                             New Complex(-11.154, -17.002) }
      For Each c1 As Complex In c
         outputBlock.Text &= c1.ToString() & vbCrLf
      Next
   End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'       (17.3, 14.1)
'       (-18.9, 147.2)
'       (13.472, -18.115)
'       (-11.154, -17.002)
using System;
using System.Numerics;

public class Example

   public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock)
   {
      Complex[] c = { new Complex(17.3, 14.1), 
                      new Complex(-18.9, 147.2),

      foreach (Complex c1 in c)
         outputBlock.Text += c1.ToString() + "\n";
   }
