Complex.Conjugate(Complex) Method

Definition

Computes the conjugate of a complex number and returns the result.

C#
public static System.Numerics.Complex Conjugate(System.Numerics.Complex value);

Parameters

value
Complex

A complex number.

Returns

The conjugate of value.

Examples

The following example displays the conjugate of two complex numbers.

C#
using System;
using System.Numerics;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      Complex[] values = { new Complex(12.4, 6.3),
                           new Complex(12.4, -6.3) };
      foreach (Complex value in values)
      {
         Console.WriteLine("Original value: {0}", value);
         Console.WriteLine("Conjugate:      {0}\n",
                           Complex.Conjugate(value).ToString());
      }
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       Original value: (12.4, 6.3)
//       Conjugate:      (12.4, -6.3)
//
//       Original value: (12.4, -6.3)
//       Conjugate:      (12.4, 6.3)

Remarks

The conjugate of a complex number inverts the sign of the imaginary component; that is, it applies unary negation to the imaginary component. If a + bi is a complex number, its conjugate is a - bi.
