Abs(Vec3) overload

Can we get Abs() to take a Vec3? 🤔

I've also considered Clamp, Min, Max, MoveTowards, Mix, Ceil, and Floor, for Vec2, Vec3, and Vec4.

That's the reason I haven't done any of them yet.

Would that be the magnitude of a Vec3?

I believe it is just like calling Abs() for each of the  x, y & z components of the vector.  Saves time writing it out all the time.

Vec3 Abs(Vec3 value) {
	value.x = Abs(value.x);
	value.y = Abs(value.y);
	value.z = Abs(value.z);

	return value;
}

Magnitude of something is denoted in mathematics by two surrounding pipes. Absolute value is just one.

||v||=magnitude

|v|=abs
