Method Details

norm

public double norm()

Get the L₂ norm (commonly known as the Euclidean norm) for the vector. This corresponds to the common notion of vector magnitude or length and is defined as the square root of the sum of the squares of all vector components.

Specified by:

norm in interface Vector<Vector3D>

Overrides:

norm in class Vector3D

Returns:

L₂ norm for the vector

See Also:

• L2 Norm

normSq

public double normSq()

Get the square of the L₂ norm (also known as the Euclidean norm) for the vector. This is equal to the sum of the squares of all vector components.

Specified by:

normSq in interface Vector<Vector3D>

Overrides:

normSq in class Vector3D

Returns:

square of the L₂ norm for the vector

See Also:

• Vector.norm()

normalize

public Vector3D.Unit normalize()

Get a normalized vector aligned with the instance. The returned vector has a magnitude of 1.

Specified by:

normalize in interface Vector<Vector3D>

Overrides:

normalize in class Vector3D

Returns:

normalized vector

See Also:

• Vector.normalizeOrNull()

normalizeOrNull

public Vector3D.Unit normalizeOrNull()

Attempt to compute a normalized vector aligned with the instance, returning null if such a vector cannot be computed. This method is equivalent to Vector.normalize() but returns null instead of throwing an exception on failure.

Specified by:

normalizeOrNull in interface Vector<Vector3D>

Overrides:

normalizeOrNull in class Vector3D

Returns:

normalized vector or null if such a vector cannot be computed, i.e. if the norm is zero, NaN, or infinite

See Also:

• Vector.normalize()

withNorm

public Vector3D withNorm(double mag)

Returns a vector with the same direction but with the given norm. This is equivalent to calling vec.normalize().scalarMultiply(mag) but without the intermediate vector.

Specified by:

withNorm in interface Vector<Vector3D>

Overrides:

withNorm in class Vector3D

Parameters:

mag - The vector norm

Returns:

a vector with the same direction as the current instance but the given norm

negate

public Vector3D.Unit negate()

Get the negation of the instance.

Specified by:

negate in interface Vector<Vector3D>

Overrides:

negate in class Vector3D

Returns:

a new vector which is the negation of the instance

from

public static Vector3D.Unit from(double x,
 double y,
 double z)

Create a normalized vector.

Parameters:

x - Vector coordinate.

y - Vector coordinate.

z - Vector coordinate.

Returns:

a vector whose norm is 1.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the norm of the given value is zero, NaN, or infinite

from

public static Vector3D.Unit from(Vector3D v)

Create a normalized vector.

Parameters:

v - Vector.

Returns:

a vector whose norm is 1.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the norm of the given value is zero, NaN, or infinite
