Vector()

Summary

Creates a vector.

 

Changes

Added to Version 6.0/2012.

 

Syntax

Vector (int length, string type, array options)

 

Argument	Contents
length	The number of elements in the vector
type	The type of number ("Double", "Float", "Long" (the default), or" Short"), or the type "String"

 

Options	Type	Contents
Constant	Number	The value to use to fill the vector with a single constant value
Sequence	2 Numbers	Start value and Step value, to fill the vector with the sequence of numbers starting at value Start and going in increments of value Step
Row Based	String	"True" (the default) means v.rowbased will be "True"; "False" means v.columnbased will be "True"
Column Based	String	"True" means v.columnbased will be "True"; "False" (the default) means v.rowbased will be "True"

 

Returns

A vector.

 

Notes

• By default the vector is row-based and has all elements set to null.

• For more information on vectors, see Vectors.

Example

v = Vector(10, "float", {{"Constant", 1.4},{"Column Based", "True"}})

ShowArray({v, v.length, v.rowbased, v.columnbased})

n = v.length

seq_vec = Vector(n, "long", {{"Sequence", 1, 1}})

ShowArray({seq_vec})
