Hi, Simple question I am sure someone can answer. Looked through the help and couldn’t see an obvious example. ##Define these two functions in the REPL: function TestFunc(X,Pa) #TestFunc = Moves a point by movement set in Pa #X - Point to move #Pa - Movement for i=1:length(X) #Centre object…

You can use broadcasting, X .- a

Those functions seem to indicate you want an in-place function (e.g., TestFunc!). Containers can be mutable such as arrays (e.g., Vector{<:Real}), but Int, Float64 and such are immutable. I would recommend either always use a mutable struct and update in-place or just return the latest value. A few…

Don’t test for types explicitly, use multiple dispatch instead, ie define different methods accepting vectors and scalars.

If not mistaken for a simple branch that only depends on type there is not efficiency loss as the compiler will be smart about it, same as multiple dispatch. In this case, it is probably best to choose an in-place for a mutable container or avoid it and return the value (e.g., just defining the ope…

Thanks for replies, useful comments.
