```vector(1,2,3,4)``` adds a vector, ```vector(1 2)``` as well. The start is now the origin.

When you apply lazy evaluation and later update ```a```, the value for c will be reevaluated
|
||||
automatically. Combined with vector dragging, this way you can get an intuition for vector addition.
|
||||
Want to do the same for matrix multiplication and basis change.

**To run locally**
|
||||
* make sure you have node/npm
|
||||
* cmdline: npm run start
|
||||
* enter the following:
|
||||
```
|
||||
a = vector(0.5, 0.5)
|
||||
b = vector(-1, 1)
|
||||
c = "a+b"
|
||||
```
|

* and press enter. Then using the mouse pointer move a or b. Or try:
|
||||
```
|
||||
a=2*a
|
||||
```
|
||||
this updates vector ```a``` to twice it's size. And, because ```c``` is defined lazily, it is updated as well!
