Exploring more vectors

At some point later on in this book, you will need to utilize two- and four-component vectors as well. The two- and four-component vectors don't need any mathematical functions defined as they will be used exclusively as containers used to pass data to the GPU.

Unlike the three-component vector you have implemented, the two- and four-component vectors need to exist as both integer and floating point vectors. To avoid duplicating code, both structures will be implemented using a template:

  1. Create a new file, vec2.h, and add the definition of the vec2 struct. All the vec2 constructors are inline; there is no need for a cpp file. The TVec2 struct is templated and typedef is used to declare vec2 and ivec2:
    template<typename T>
    struct TVec2 {
        union {
            struct {
                T x;
