this is section 2.3.3

class Vector:

2 Represent a vector in a multidimensional space.

3

4 def init (self, d):

5 Create d-dimensional vector of zeros.

6 self. coords = [0] d

7

8 def len (self):

9 Return the dimension of the vector.

10 return len(self. coords)

11

12 def getitem (self, j):

13 Return jth coordinate of vector.

14 return self. coords[j]

15

16 def setitem (self, j, val):

17 Set jth coordinate of vector to given value.

18 self. coords[j] = val

19

20 def add (self, other):

21 Return sum of two vectors.

22 if len(self) != len(other): # relies on len method

23 raise ValueError( dimensions must agree )

24 result = Vector(len(self)) # start with vector of zeros

25 for j in range(len(self)):

26 result[j] = self[j] + other[j]

27 return result

28

29 def eq (self, other):

30 Return True if vector has same coordinates as other.

31 return self. coords == other. coords

32

33 def ne (self, other):

34 Return True if vector differs from other.

35 return not self == other # rely on existing eq definition

36

37 def str (self):

38 Produce string representation of vector.

Implement the _.mul_- method for the Vector class of Section 2.3.3, so that the expression u * v returns a scalar that represents the dot product of the vectors, that is, -1 ui . vi
