Vex bracket thought

[andmotion]

Hi there,

As I am on vex learning path you know many silly questions coming up every day. I think this one is one of these:)

Is there any different between those two lines?

v@a = {0,0,1};

v@a = set(0,0,1);

wrangler doesn't telling me anything wrong and the result is the same so I am wondering ---- {} ------ is this type of brackets saying SET?

Thanks

Hi Andrzej,
those yours two lines are both fine, as long, as you don't use variables or @attributes inside the first method {}.

The "advantage" of the set() function is, that you can use variables (or attributes) as an argument:

float x = 0;
@y = 0;

// next line contains error:
v@a = {x, @y, 1};

// next line is correct:
v@a = set(x, @y, 1);
