vector

Syntax

v := vector(n1<,n2><,n3>)

Create a vector type.

How the type is created and initialized depends on the number and type of arguments provided:

• If a number (integer or float) is provided, then either one or two more number arguments must follow to create a 2D or 3D vector type.
• A list must be of length 2 or 3, and each entry must be of type float, to be converted to a vector.
• A string must be in the format “(x,y)” or “(x,y,z)” including parentheses and commas to be converted into a vector.
• A matrix must have a single row or column and be of size 2 or three in the other dimension to be converted into a vector.
• An array must be of a single dimension and be of legth two or three to be converted into a vector.

Returns:

v - vector

Arguments:

n1 - number, array, matrix list, or string

n2 - optional number for 2D/3D vector

n3 - optional number for 3D vector
