Featurescript-Vector rounding

Hugh_Goodbody

I am computing the dot product of some vectors to check for parallelism. I have run into a rounding error situation. What is the best way to round the vectors so that the values of the highlighted ones are the same?

if checking parallelism is the only aim you can use parallelVectors() function from standard library

parallelVectors (vector1 is Vector, vector2 is Vector) returns boolean

Returns true if two vectors are parallel (within tolerance).

You can use tolerantEquals to compare values with units

Good to know! Wasn't aware of that function!
