cross_product Function

public pure function cross_product(x, y) result(rst)

Computes the cross-product of two three-dimensional vectors. The result is orthogonal to both inputs and is defined by $$\boldsymbol{x}\times\boldsymbol{y} = \begin{bmatrix}x_2y_3-x_3y_2\\x_3y_1-x_1y_3\\x_1y_2-x_2y_1\end{bmatrix}.$$

Arguments

Type	Intent	Optional	Attributes		Name
real(kind=real64),	intent(in)			::	x(3)	The left-hand-side argument.
real(kind=real64),	intent(in)			::	y(3)	The right-hand-side argument

Return Value real(kind=real64), (3)

The resulting vector.
