3.3.4.3.5 Vectors of Floating Point Numbers.

The vector type is a generic vehicle for the combination of several floating point numbers into a one-dimensional array. Wherever a couple of float values has to be communicated rather than just a single floating point number, the vector type should be used. As an example, the vector type is necessary if some difference between two data sets is to be computed. In this case the vector type serves as an unstructured representation of the differences at various sampling points. Vectors are represented by the pattern (vector val1 ..... valN).
