functionlength

Return length of a complex vector

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Function (Icon for functions).

Information

Syntax

Vectors.length(v);

Description

The function call "Vectors.length(v)" returns the Euclidean length "sqrt(v*v)" of vector v. The function call is equivalent to Vectors.norm(v). The advantage of length(v) over norm(v)"is that function length(..) is implemented in one statement and therefore the function is usually automatically inlined. Further symbolic processing is therefore possible, which is not the case with function norm(..).

Example

v = {2, -4, -2, -1};
length(v);  // = 5
