Vector

Vectors are essentially float arrays of size 3 which are used to represent various quanties like spatial co-ordinates, angles, velocities and colours, and so will come up very often.

A Vector can be instanced like so:

Vector vec(1, 2, 3);

Each vector component can be accessed via the fields x, y and z, which are of type float

vec.x // 1.0
vec.y // 2.0
vec.z // 3.0

These components are also accessible via the index operator:

vec[0] // vec.x
vec[1] // vec.y
vec[2] // vec.z

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
