    PVector.mult(v, scalar)
    PVector.mult(v1, v2)

Parameters

vec | any variable of type PVector
scalar | float: the number to multiply with the vector
v | PVector: the vector to multiply by the scalar
v1 | PVector: the x, y, and z components of a PVector object
v2 | PVector: the x, y, and z components of a PVector object

Returns | None or PVector
