Python programming language / Physics question?

Question

In Python, if I have:

heading = vector(0,0,0) # heading

How do I obtain the vector perpendicular to that? Is there a function that can do it?

Thx

in python, writing vector(0,0) is just the same as writing vector(0,0,0).

Answer 1

You seem to have a conceptual difficulty. In three dimensions there is no single (unit scale, oriented) vector perpendicular to a given vector; there's a whole plane. So it's difficult to envisage which particular vector you want out of the infinitely many possibilities.
