Challenge: Overload the Operators for Vectors
Overload the operators for Vector class.
We'll cover the following
Problem statement
In this challenge, you are required to overload the following three operators for the Vector
class we implemented in the previous lesson:
-
: Unary negation operator-
: Subtraction operator
In the case of vectors, -
(unary negation) negates all the components of a vector. Whereas, -
(subtraction) gives a vector as a result of subtraction b/w two vectors.
Input
- Unary negation operator: A vector
- Subtraction operator: Two vectors
Output
- Unary negation operator: A vector with every component negated.
- Subtraction operator: A resultant vector after a pairwise subtraction of two vectors.
Sample input
Suppose we have two vectors: vector1
and vector2
.
- Unary negation operator:
-vector1
- Subtraction operator:
vector1 - vector2
Sample output
For example, if vector1
is 2i - 3j + 5k and vector2
is -4i - 2j + 11k then:
- Unary negation operator: -2i + 3j - 5k
- Subtraction operator: 6i - 1j - 6k
🧐 Note: Assume, that operands are of the correct data type.
Do not forget to use the concepts taught in the previous lessons. Feel free to view the solution, after giving it a few shots. Good luck!
Overload the negation operator
Override __neg__()
to overload the -
operator.
