Hello,

just wanted to clarify if the "Negating Tuples" chapter suggests to make a copy of the tuple and negate the copy or doing an in place change of the tuple. I'm using operator overloading in C++ and I have to decide if I'll modify the tuple itself or return a negated copy of the tuple. I think we should return a negated copy, but I want to double check.

BTW, I really enjoy the book.

Regards,

Georgios

It really depends on how you want to structure your ray tracer, but the tests assume the operation creates a copy of the tuple and negates that, rather than negating the tuple in place.
