Log(Complex)
- Source:
- Complex.cs
- Source:
- Complex.cs
- Source:

Returns the natural (base e
) logarithm of a specified complex number.
public:
static System::Numerics::Complex Log(System::Numerics::Complex value);
public static System.Numerics.Complex Log (System.Numerics.Complex value);
static member Log : System.Numerics.Complex -> System.Numerics.Complex
Public Shared Function Log (value As Complex) As Complex
Parameters
- value
- Complex
A complex number.
Returns
The natural (base e
) logarithm of value
.
Examples
The following example illustrates the Log method. It shows that, with some allowance for the lack of precision of the Double data type, passing the value returned by the Log method to the Exp method returns the original Complex value.

using System.Numerics;
public class Example
{
public static void Main()
{
Complex[] values = { new Complex(1.53, 9.26),
new Complex(2.53, -8.12),
new Complex(-2.81, 5.32),
new Complex(-1.09, -3.43),
new Complex(Double.MinValue/2, Double.MinValue/2) };
foreach (Complex value in values)
Console.WriteLine("Exp(Log({0}) = {1}", value,
Complex.Exp(Complex.Log(value)));
}
}
// The example displays the following output:
// Exp(Log((1.53, 9.26)) = (1.53, 9.26)
// Exp(Log((2.53, -8.12)) = (2.53, -8.12)
// Exp(Log((-2.81, 5.32)) = (-2.81, 5.32)
// Exp(Log((-1.09, -3.43)) = (-1.09, -3.43)
