vector.length
Given a vector, self, this function will square and add the components of self to define the length of the vector. If self does not follow Computercraft's vector style (a table with the contents: x, y, and z) the function will error.

| Prints the length if a vector | |||
| Code | <nowiki>
local vectorA = vector.new(6, 7, -8)
print("The length of my vector is:", vectorA.length(vectorA))
</nowiki>
|

| An example of what the function looks like | |||
| Code | <nowiki>
local vectorA = vector.new(6, 7, -8)
local length = (vectorA.x*vectorA.x)+(vectorA.y*vectorA.y)+(vectorA.z*vectorA.z)
print("The length of my vector is:", length)
</nowiki>
|
||
| Output | The length of my vector is: 12.20655... | ||
