Function lerp

pub fn lerp<V>(u: V, v: V, t: f32) -> V
where
    V: Add<V, Output = V> + Mul<f32, Output = V>,

Computes the linear interpolation between two vectors.

Linear interpolation (lerp) finds a point that is between two vectors, based on a given parameter t. It computes a weighted average of the vectors where t determines the weight of the second vector.

Arguments

• u - The starting vector.
• v - The ending vector.
• t - A scalar parameter between 0.0 and 1.0 that determines the interpolation point. If t is 0.0, the result is u. If t is 1.0, the result is v. For values between 0.0 and 1.0, the result is a point between u and v.

Returns

A new vector that represents the interpolated result between u and v.

Examples

use mini_matrix::{Vector, lerp};

let u = Vector::from([1.0, 2.0, 3.0]);
let v = Vector::from([4.0, 5.0, 6.0]);

let result = lerp(u, v, 0.5);
assert_eq!(result, Vector::from([2.5, 3.5, 4.5]));

Panics

This function will panic if:

• The type V does not implement the required traits (Add, Mul).

Notes

• This function assumes t is a floating-point number (f32) and works with vectors where the Add and Mul traits are implemented.
