Help with Vectors

[hurstshifter]

Can anyone point me to a good thread/tutorial on Vectors? I've realized that knowing more about them and how to properly utilize them in my programs will help out a lot, but as it stands I know very little. Thanks for any suggestions in advance.

I was given this link on IRC about vector and matrix math, i'm slowly working my way through it, you might want to check it out!

I find a lot of the time it makes absolutely no sense to begin with, but if you follow the questions along the top and bottom of the screen, and make sure you understand each section before you go on, then it starts to stick

PS: i'm educated in maths up to GCSE intermediate level, so i'm pretty naive to this kind of stuff, just thought I would mention that so you can gauage how much you might struggle with the whole thing.

I'll check that out, thanks

Did you mean math vectors or the std::vector datatype?

[programmerinprogress]

haha, I think he did mean the STL vector, I just had maths on the mind on that day, if you did mean std::vector, then try cplusplus.com and search for vector

As for vectors, I would really just use the documentation. I had a mini-tut on them on the forums at one point... but it might have been in the guides & resources thread and has since possibly been edited out?
