/*This is a C++ Program to find the cross product of two vectors. In mathematics, the cross product or vector product is a binary operation on two vectors in three-dimensional space. It results in a vector that is perpendicular to both and therefore normal to the plane containing them.*/ #include #include #include #include using namespace std; const int LOW = 0; const int HIGH = 10; int main(int argc, char **argv) { time_t seconds; time(&seconds); srand((unsigned int) seconds); int u1, u2, u3, v1, v2, v3; u1 = rand() % (HIGH - LOW + 1) + LOW; u2 = rand() % (HIGH - LOW + 1) + LOW; u3 = rand() % (HIGH - LOW + 1) + LOW; v1 = rand() % (HIGH - LOW + 1) + LOW; v2 = rand() % (HIGH - LOW + 1) + LOW; v3 = rand() % (HIGH - LOW + 1) + LOW; int uvi, uvj, uvk; uvi = u2 * v3 - v2 * u3; uvj = v1 * u3 - u1 * v3; uvk = u1 * v2 - v1 * u2; cout << "The cross product of the 2 vectors \n u = " << u1 << "i + " << u2 << "j + " << u3 << "k and \n v = " << u1 << "i + " << u2 << "j + " << u3 << "k \n "; cout << "u X v : " << uvi << "i +" << uvj << "j+ " << uvk << "k "; return 0; } /* The cross product of the 2 vectors u = 6i + 9j + 9k and v = 6i + 9j + 9k u X v : 0i +6j+ -6k
