vectorA:cross

Function vector:cross
Returns the vector which resulted in the cross product of the two vectors.
Syntax	vector:cross(vector vect)
Returns	number
Part of	ComputerCraft
API	vector

Examples

Example
Creates a cross product of two vectors and prints the resulting vector.
Code	local a = vector.new(1, 2, 3) local b = vector.new(4, 5, 6) local c = a:cross(b) print(c.x) print(c.y) print(c.z) --(-3) --6 --(-3)

Example
Code to recreate the function. Gives insight into what the function does.
Code	local a = vector.new(1, 2, 3) local b = vector.new(2, 1, 2) local c = vector.new( (a.y * b.z - a.z * b.y), (a.z * b.x - z.x * b.z), (a.x * b.y - a.y * b.x)) --c.x = 1 --c.y = 4 --c.z = -3

It is important to note that a:cross(b) will not usually equal b:cross(a).
