is anyone here well versed in this horror,
specificly, does anyone here know how to define a function that will return a 3d vector?

Code: [Select]

vector my_function()
{
     vector retval;
     retval.x = 1.0f;
     retval.y = 0.0f;
     retval.z = 0.0f;

     return retval;
}

that's c, not mathematica

[WMCoolmon]

Yep.

Have you seen this already?

I'm stuck with Maple myself, which is probably just about as bad.  Who writes the syntax for these idiotic programs, anyway?  You'd think that typing "2x" would be automatically taken to mean "2*x", but I guess Maple's too smart for that.
