#kotlinDevChallenge – 17

Implement extension functions plus and minus to perform vector addition and subtraction.

Task Description:

  1. data class Vector is given with a property coordinates, a list of integers representing the vector’s coordinates.
  2. Implement a function plus for the Vector class to add two vectors. The function should return a new Vector representing the sum.
  3. Implement a function minus for the Vector class to subtract two vectors. The function should return a new Vector representing the difference.
  4. Ensure both functions handle cases where vectors have different dimensions by returning null or an appropriate error message.
  5. Make operator invocations possible:

Example usage:

Vector(listOf(1, 2, 3)) + Vector(listOf(4, 5, 6)) == Vector(listOf(5,7,9)

Vector(listOf(-1, -3)) - Vector(listOf(-2, -2)) == Vector(listOf(1, -1))

Vector(listOf(3, 4, 5)) - Vector(listOf(1, 2)) == null
  1. Fill in the code.
  2. You can copy the code into IntelliJ/Android Studio, but it shouldn’t be necessary.
  3. Click “run” – the green triangle. The code will compile and several tests will be run.
  4. In the logs, you will see “try again” if the solution is incorrect, or “success” and a special code.
  5. Provide this code in the form below along with your email and click “send”.
