Vector Functions

[henneberger]

Vector functions:

Vector should implement its own type so we know how to do translation functions for other engines.

• vector_add: Performs element-wise addition of vectors.
• vector_subtract: Performs element-wise subtraction of vectors.
• dot_product: Computes the dot product of two vectors.
• cross_product: Computes the cross product of two vectors.
• scalar_multiply: Multiplies a vector by a scalar.
• vector_norm: Computes the Euclidean norm (magnitude) of a vector.
• unit_vector: Normalizes a vector to have a magnitude of one.
• vector_negate: Computes the negation of a vector by changing its direction.
• vector_dimension: Returns the dimension (number of elements) of a vector.
• vector_entry: Retrieves a specific entry from a vector by index.
• vector_equals: Compares vectors for equality.
• vector_hash: Generates a hash code for a vector.
• vector_multiply: Performs element-by-element multiplication. Check same dimensionality
• vector_divide: Performs element-by-element division. Check same dimensionality
