|
Create a function/use an in-built function, to compute the '''[[wp:Dot product|dot product]]''', also known as the '''scalar product''' of two vectors.
|
|
|
|
If possible, make the vectors of arbitrary length.
|
|
|
|
|
|
As an example, compute the dot product of the vectors:
|
|
:::: <big> <code> [1, 3, -5] </code> </big> and
|
|
:::: <big> <code> [4, -2, -1] </code> </big>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
If implementing the dot product of two vectors directly:
|
|
:::* each vector must be the same length
|
|
:::* multiply corresponding terms from each vector
|
|
:::* sum the products (to produce the answer)
|
|
|
|
|
