complexDivision Operator (complex, fcomplex)

public static complex operator /(
	complex A,
	fcomplex B
)

Public Shared Operator / ( 
	A As complex,
	B As fcomplex
) As complex

Dim A As complex
Dim B As fcomplex
Dim returnValue As complex

returnValue = (A / B)

Parameters

A

Type: ILNumericscomplex
Divident

B

Type: ILNumericsfcomplex
Divisor

Return Value

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.
