Implementation of PVector.setHeading() #193
Description
Activity
Created by: benfry
Adding it for parity with p5.js… Here's the full implementation from there:
_main.default.Vector.prototype.setHeading = function setHeading(a) { var m = this.mag(); this.x = m * Math.cos(a); this.y = m * Math.sin(a); return this; };

public PVector setHeading(float angle) { float m = mag(); x = m * Math.cos(a); y = m * Math.sin(a); return this; }
shouldn't it be the following?
public PVector setHeading(float angle) { float m = mag(); x = m * Math.cos(angle); y = m * Math.sin(angle); return this; }

PVector.setHeding()isn't highlighted as other methods inPVector. But it works perfectly though...Created by: github-actions[bot]

There's an method named
PVector.setHeading()inp5.Vectorclass of p5.js to set the direction of an vector to any given angle. But there's no such option in Processing. It can be settled down easily. But the function seems more self explanatory and easy to understand. It also goes well with thePVector.heading()method already present in Processing.An implementation might look like the following :
