Vectors are essentially float arrays of size 3 which are used to represent various things like spatial co-ordinates, angles, velocities and colours, and so will come up very often.
Operations such as dot product and cross product can be performed on vectors using these global functions:
| Function | Description | 
|---|---|
float DotProduct(const Vector2D& in lhs, const Vector2D& in rhs)
 | 
Returns a dot product of the given 2D vectors | 
| float DotProduct(const Vector& in lhs, const Vector& in rhs) | Returns the dot product of the given vectors | 
Vector CrossProduct(const Vector& in, const Vector& in)
 | 
Returns the cross product of the given vectors | 
| Method | Description | 
|---|---|
void Vector()
 | 
Default constructs a 3D vector (0, 0, 0) | 
void Vector(const Vector& in vec)
 |

 | 
Constructs a 3D vector from 3 floats |
