Vector Structure Reference
Vector
public struct Vector : EquatableVector object
In the Euclidean geometry, a vector is what is needed to “carry” the point A to the point B; it is a geometric object that has magnitude (or length) and direction. Vectors can be added to other vectors according to vector algebra. A Euclidean vector is frequently represented by a line segment with a definite direction, or graphically as an arrow, connecting an initial point A with a terminal point B, and denoted by \overrightarrow{AB}.
