Complex Implicit Conversion (Double to Complex)
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Defines an implicit conversion of a double-precision floating-point number to a complex number.
Namespace: System.Numerics
Assembly: System.Numerics (in System.Numerics.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared Widening Operator CType ( _
value As Double _
) As Complex
public static implicit operator Complex (
double value
)
Parameters
- value
Type: System.Double
The value to convert to a complex number.
Return Value
Type: System.Numerics.Complex
An object that contains the value of the value parameter as its real part and zero as its imaginary part.
Remarks
The overloads of the Implicit operator define the types from which a compiler can automatically convert a Complex object without an explicit casting operator (in C#) or a call to a conversion function (in Visual Basic). They are widening conversions that do not involve data loss and do not throw an OverflowException.
This overload lets the compiler handle conversions from a Double value to a complex number, as the following example shows. Note that the result of the conversion is a complex number whose real part is equal to the Double value and whose imaginary part is equal to zero.
Dim doubleValue As Double = 0.0000000000000001032
Dim c1 As System.Numerics.Complex = doubleValue
outputBlock.Text &= c1.ToString() + vbCrLf
' The example displays the following output:
' (1.032E-16, 0)
double doubleValue = 1.032e-16;
System.Numerics.Complex c1 = doubleValue;
outputBlock.Text += c1 + "\n";
// The example displays the following output:
// (1.032E-16, 0)
