<span id="Vectors-1"></span><h4 class="subsection">2.2.2 Vectors</h4>
<p>Unlike Scheme’s vector data type, which is a sequence of arbitrary
Scheme objects, Chickadee’s <code>(chickadee math vector)</code> module
provides vectors in the linear algebra sense: Sequences of numbers
specialized for particular coordinate spaces. As of now, Chickadee
provides 2D and 3D vectors, with 4D vector support coming in a future
release.
</p>
<p>Here’s a quick example of adding two vectors:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">(define v (vec2+ (vec2 1 2) (vec2 3 4)))
</pre></div>
<p>Since vectors are used so frequently, the reader macro <code>#v</code> is
used to cut down on typing:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">(define v (vec2+ #v(1 2) #v(3 4)))
</pre></div>
<p><em>A Note About Performance</em>
</p>
<p>A lot of time has been spent making Chickadee’s vector operations
perform relatively efficiently in critical code paths where excessive
garbage generation will cause major performance issues. The general
rule is that procedures ending with <code>!</code> perform an in-place
modification of one of the arguments in order to avoid allocating a
new vector. These procedures are also inlined by Guile’s compiler in
order to take advantage of optimizations relating to floating point
math operations. The downside is that since these are not pure
functions, they do not compose well and create more verbose code.
