Excuse me if these questions are too simple for the group. Please
email the answer(s) and I will summarize if there is any interest.

I have just started playing around with Eiffel. As a test, I thought I
would make some test classes based on vectors, where vectors are more or
less arrays with math operations for now.

I have figured out how to do this:
a, b, c: VECTOR[REAL]
...
a = b + c

I'm not sure how to go about this:
a, b: VECTOR[COMPLEX];
c: VECTOR[REAL]
...
a = b + c

or this:
a, b: VECTOR[REAL]
...
a = 5*b

Thanks for your advice.

Brian
