    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object other)
      Test for the equality of two 2D vectors.

      If all coordinates of two 2D vectors are exactly the same, and none are Double.NaN, the two 2D vectors are considered to be equal.

      NaN coordinates are considered to affect globally the vector and be equals to each other - i.e, if either (or all) coordinates of the 2D vector are equal to Double.NaN, the 2D vector is equal to NaN.

      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
      Parameters:
      other - Object to test for equality to this
      Returns:
      true if two 2D vector objects are equal, false if object is null, not an instance of Vector2D, or not equal to this Vector2D instance

    • equalsIeee754

      public boolean equalsIeee754(Object other)
      Test for the equality of two 2D vectors.

      If all coordinates of two 2D vectors are exactly the same, and none are NaN, the two 2D vectors are considered to be equal.

      In compliance with IEEE754 handling, if any coordinates of any of the two vectors are NaN, then the vectors are considered different. This implies that Vector2D.NaN.equals(Vector2D.NaN) returns false despite the instance is checked against itself.

      Parameters:
      other - Object to test for equality to this
      Returns:
      true if two 2D vector objects are equal, false if object is null, not an instance of Vector2D, or not equal to this Vector2D instance
