Title Body

I am new to Vectors and making classes. I am trying to construct my own vector class but when i pass it through my code which is: position += heading*distance_moved where position and heading are both vectors. heading is normalized. my goal is to repeat my code until position = destination. What is wrong with this class? import math class Vector(object): #defaults are set at 0.0 for x and y def __init__(self, x=0.0, y=0.0): self.x = x self.y = y #allows us to return a string for print def __str__(self): return "(%s, %s)"%(self.x, self.y) # from_points generates a vector between 2 pairs of (x,y) coordinates @classmethod def from_points(cls, P1, P2): return cls(P2[0] - P1[0], P2[1] - P1[1]) #calculate magnitude(distance of the line from points a to points b def get_magnitude(self): return math.sqrt(self.x**2+self.y**2) #normalizes the vector (divides it by a magnitude and finds the direction) def normalize(self): magnitude = self.get_magnitude() self.x/= magnitude self.y/= magnitude #adds two vectors and returns the results(a new line from start of line ab to end of line bc) def __add__(self, rhs): return Vector(self.x +rhs.x, self.y+rhs.y) #subtracts two vectors def __sub__(self, rhs): return Vector(self.x - rhs.x, self.y-rhs.y) #negates or returns a vector back in the opposite direction def __neg__(self): return Vector(-self.x, -self.y) #multiply the vector (scales its size) multiplying by negative reverses the direction def __mul__(self, scalar): return Vector(self.x*scalar, self.y*scalar) #divides the vector (scales its size down) def __div__(self, scalar): return Vector(self.x/scalar, self.y/scalar) #iterator def __iter__(self): return self #next def next(self): self.current += 1 return
