Division Operator

ILNumerics.Net - numeric computing for .NET

Operator dividing the specified inputs.

Declaration Syntax

Visual Basic

Visual C++

public static fcomplex operator /(
	fcomplex in1,
	complex in2
)

Public Shared Operator / ( _
	in1 As fcomplex, _
	in2 As complex _
) As fcomplex

public:
static fcomplex operator /(
	fcomplex in1, 
	complex in2
)

Parameters

in1 (fcomplex): The divident.

in2 (complex): The divisor.

Return Value

Result of operation in1 / in2

Remarks

Unless the operator must handle special inputs (Inf or 0 values), the algorithm described in [1] is used for division. This is considered to be more robust against floating point overflow than the naive approach of simple cartesian division.
