cross
Cross product operator.
Syntax
vec_expr_1 cross vec_expr_2
Operands
- vec_expr_1, vec_expr_2
- A pair of valid vector expressions. Each vector must contain three elements.
Example
| Expression | Result |
|---|---|
{{1, 0, 0} cross {0, 1, 0}} |
0, 0, 1 |
{{1, 2, 3} cross {2, 4, 6}} |
0, 0, 0 |
Comments
The result is the cross product of vec_expr_1 and vec_expr_2. The resultant vector contains three elements and is normal to both vec_expr_1 and vec_expr_2. If vec_expr_1 and vec_expr_2 are parallel vectors, the result is a vector whose elements are zero.
