    v1 - first vector
    
    v2 - second vector

```
public boolean equals(Object other)
```
    Test for the equality of two 3D vectors.
    If all coordinates of two 3D vectors are exactly the same, and none are Double.NaN, the two 3D vectors are considered to be equal.
    
    NaN coordinates are considered to affect globally the vector and be equals to each other - i.e, if either (or all) coordinates of the 3D vector are equal to Double.NaN, the 3D vector is equal to NaN.

```
    Compute the distance between two vectors according to the L₁ norm.
    Calling this method is equivalent to calling: v1.subtract(v2).getNorm1() except that no intermediate vector is built
    
    Parameters:
    
    v1 - first vector
    
    v2 - second vector
    
    Returns:
    
    the distance between v1 and v2 according to the L₁ norm
  - distance
```
public static double distance(Vector3D v1,
                              Vector3D v2)
```
    Compute the distance between two vectors according to the L₂ norm.
    Calling this method is equivalent to calling: v1.subtract(v2).getNorm() except that no intermediate vector is built
    
    Parameters:
    
    v1 - first vector
    
    v2 - second vector
    
    Returns:
    
    the distance between v1 and v2 according to the L₂ norm
  - distanceInf
```
public static double distanceInf(Vector3D v1,
                                 Vector3D v2)
```
    Compute the distance between two vectors according to the L_∞ norm.
    Calling this method is equivalent to calling: v1.subtract(v2).getNormInf() except that no intermediate vector is built
    
    Parameters:
    
    v1 - first vector
    
    v2 - second vector
    
    Returns:
    
    the distance between v1 and v2 according to the L_∞ norm
  - distanceSq
```
public static double distanceSq(Vector3D v1,
                                Vector3D v2)
```
    Compute the square of the distance between two vectors.
    Calling this method is equivalent to calling: v1.subtract(v2).getNormSq() except that no intermediate vector is built
    
    Parameters:
    
    v1 - first vector
    
    v2 - second vector
    
    Returns:
    
    the square of the distance between v1 and v2
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Get a string representation of this vector.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    a string representation of this vector
  - toString
```
public String toString(NumberFormat format)
```
    Get a string representation of this vector.
    
    Specified by:
    
    toString in interface Vector<Euclidean3D>
    
    Parameters:
    
    format - the custom format for components
    
    Returns:
    
    a string representation of this vector
