  6. Vector2i
  7. ========
  8. Vector used for 2D math using integer coordinates.
  9. Description
  10. -----------
  11. 2-element structure that can be used to represent positions in 2D space or any other pair of numeric values.
  12. It uses integer coordinates and is therefore preferable to :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` when exact precision is required.
  13. \ **Note:** In a boolean context, a Vector2i will evaluate to ``false`` if it's equal to ``Vector2i(0, 0)``. Otherwise, a Vector2i will always evaluate to ``true``.

  246. - :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **operator <=** **(** :ref:`Vector2i<class_Vector2i>` right **)**
  247. Compares two ``Vector2i`` vectors by first checking if the X value of the left vector is less than or equal to the X value of the ``right`` vector. If the X values are exactly equal, then it repeats this check with the Y values of the two vectors. This operator is useful for sorting vectors.

  252. - :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **operator ==** **(** :ref:`Vector2i<class_Vector2i>` right **)**
  253. Returns ``true`` if the vectors are equal.

  256. - :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **operator >** **(** :ref:`Vector2i<class_Vector2i>` right **)**
  257. Compares two ``Vector2i`` vectors by first checking if the X value of the left vector is greater than the X value of the ``right`` vector. If the X values are exactly equal, then it repeats this check with the Y values of the two vectors. This operator is useful for sorting vectors.

  259. .. _class_Vector2i_operator_gte_bool:
  260. - :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **operator >=** **(** :ref:`Vector2i<class_Vector2i>` right **)**
  261. Compares two ``Vector2i`` vectors by first checking if the X value of the left vector is greater than or equal to the X value of the ``right`` vector. If the X values are exactly equal, then it repeats this check with the Y values of the two vectors. This operator is useful for sorting vectors.

  263. .. _class_Vector2i_operator_idx_int:
  264. - :ref:`int<class_int>` **operator []** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` index **)**
  265. Access vector components using their index. ``v[0]`` is equivalent to ``v.x``, and ``v[1]`` is equivalent to ``v.y``.

  267. .. _class_Vector2i_operator_unplus_Vector2i:
  268. - :ref:`Vector2i<class_Vector2i>` **operator unary+** **(** **)**
  269. Returns the same value as if the ``+`` was not there. Unary ``+`` does nothing, but sometimes it can make your code more readable.
  270. ----
  271. .. _class_Vector2i_operator_unminus_Vector2i:
  272. - :ref:`Vector2i<class_Vector2i>` **operator unary-** **(** **)**
  273. Returns the negative value of the ``Vector2i``. This is the same as writing ``Vector2i(-v.x, -v.y)``. This operation flips the direction of the vector while keeping the same magnitude.
