public interface Vector
extends Matrix

The Vector superclass provides an abstract encapsulation for vectors. Vectors are basically a matrix with 1 column. Concrete implementations of this class should implement additional interfaces. See subclasses.

Method Summary

int	getDimension() Returns the vector's dimension.
java.lang.Number	getElement(int i) Returns the element at position i.
java.lang.Number[]	toArray(Vector v) Converts a vector to an array.
