Explicit Operator

Converts the complex number to a double-precision real number.

Declaration Syntax

Visual Basic

Visual C++

public static explicit operator double (
	Complex z
)

Public Shared Narrowing Operator CType ( _
	z As Complex _
) As Double

static explicit operator double (
	Complex z
)

F# does not support the declaration of new casting operators.

Parameters

z (Complex): The complex number to covert.

Return Value

The corresponding double-precision real number.

Remarks

This explicit cast will fail if the complex number has a non-zero imaginary part. If you just want to obtain the real part of a complex number, use the Re property.

Exceptions

InvalidCastException	z.Im ≠ 0
