was (Author: JIRAUSER301169):
[~erans] unless I miss something, 2 vectors u, v are codirectional if v = au for a being a real number.

If the dot product of 2 vectors is 1 it just means that they are parallel. It doesn't tell you the direction

of the vector. You can either use the angle between the vectors and make sure it is 2πk for

k being a real number. Or you can use my way which I think is much faster than calculating

the angle

> implement isCodirectionalTo(Vector y) method in the Vector interface. The isCodirectionalTo() checks if the 2 vectors point at the same direction. This means that each vector can be obtained from the other by multiplying by a positive scalar.
