[[wp:Quaternion|Quaternions]]   are an extension of the idea of   [[Arithmetic/Complex|complex numbers]].
A complex number has a real and complex part written sometimes as <code>a + bi</code>, where a and b stand for real numbers and i stands for the square root of minus 1. An example of a complex number might be <code>-3 + 2i</code>, where the real part, a is -3.0 and the complex part, b is +2.0.
 
A complex number has a real and complex part, &nbsp; sometimes written as &nbsp; <big> <code> a + bi, </code> </big>
A quaternion has one real part and ''three'' imaginary parts, i, j, and k. A quaternion might be written as <code>a + bi + cj +dk</code>. In this numbering system, <code>ii = jj = kk = ijk = -1</code>. The order of multiplication is important, as, in general, for two quaternions q1 and q2; <code>q1q2 != q2q1</code>. An example of a quaternion might be <code>1 +2i +3j +4k</code>
<br>where &nbsp; <big> <code> a </code> </big> &nbsp; and &nbsp; <big> <code> b </code> </big> &nbsp; stand for real numbers, and &nbsp; <big> <code> i </code> </big> &nbsp; stands for the square root of minus 1.
 
An example of a complex number might be &nbsp; <big> <code> -3 + 2i, </code> </big> &nbsp;
There is a list form of notation where just the numbers are shown and the imaginary multipliers i,j, and k are assumed by position. So the example above would be written as (1, 2, 3, 4)
<br>where the real part, &nbsp; <big> <code> a </code> </big> &nbsp; is &nbsp; <big> <code> '''-3.0''' </code> </big> &nbsp; and the complex part, &nbsp; <big> <code> b </code> </big> &nbsp; is &nbsp; <big> <code> '''+2.0'''. </code> </big>
 
A quaternion has one real part and ''three'' imaginary parts, &nbsp; <big> <code> i, </code> </big> &nbsp; <big> <code> j, </code> </big> &nbsp; and &nbsp; <big> <code> k. </code> </big>
<br>'''Task Description'''<br>
Given the three quaternions and their components:
q = (1, 2, 3, 4) = (a, b, c, d )
q1 = (2, 3, 4, 5) = (a1, b1, c1, d1)
q2 = (3, 4, 5, 6) = (a2, b2, c2, d2)
And a wholly real number <code>r = 7</code>.
 
A quaternion might be written as &nbsp; <big> <code> a + bi + cj + dk. </code> </big>
Your task is to create functions or classes to perform simple maths with quaternions including computing:
 
# The norm of a quaternion:<br><math>= \sqrt{a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2}</math>
In the quaternion numbering system:
# The negative of a quaternion:<br><code>=(-a, -b, -c, -d)</code>
:::* &nbsp; <big> <code> i∙i = j∙j = k∙k = i∙j∙k = -1, </code> </big> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; or more simply,
# The conjugate of a quaternion:<br><code>=( a, -b, -c, -d)</code>
# Addition of:::* a&nbsp; real number r and a quaternion q:<brbig> <code>r + qii &nbsp;= qjj +&nbsp;= rkk &nbsp;= (a+r,ijk b,&nbsp; c,= -1. d)</code> </big>
 
# Addition of two quaternions:<br><code>q1 + q2 = (a1+a2, b1+b2, c1+c2, d1+d2)</code>
The order of multiplication is important, as, in general, for two quaternions:
# Multiplication of a real number and a quaternion:<br><code>qr = rq = (ar, br, cr, dr)</code>
:::: &nbsp; <big> <code> q<sub>1</sub> </code> </big> &nbsp; and &nbsp; <big> <code> q<sub>2</sub>: </code> </big> &nbsp; &nbsp; <big> <code> q<sub>1</sub>q<sub>2</sub> &ne; q<sub>2</sub>q<sub>1</sub>. </code> </big>
# Multiplication of two quaternions q1 and q2 is given by:<br><code>( a1a2 − b1b2 − c1c2 − d1d2,</code><br><code>&nbsp; a1b2 + b1a2 + c1d2 − d1c2,</code><br><code>&nbsp; a1c2 − b1d2 + c1a2 + d1b2,</code><br><code>&nbsp; a1d2 + b1c2 − c1b2 + d1a2 )</code>
 
# Show that, for the two quaternions q1 and q2:<br><code>q1q2 != q2q1</code>
An example of a quaternion might be &nbsp; <big> <code> 1 +2i +3j +4k </code> </big>
If your language has built-in support for quaternions then use it.
 
There is a list form of notation where just the numbers are shown and the imaginary multipliers &nbsp; <big> <code>i, </code> </big> &nbsp; <big> <code> j, </code> </big> &nbsp; and &nbsp; <big> <code> k </code> </big> &nbsp; are assumed by position.
 
So the example above would be written as &nbsp; <big> <code> (1, 2, 3, 4) </code> </big>

COMMENT
For a list of coercions expected in A68 c.f.
* http://rosettacode.org/wiki/ALGOL_68#Coercion_.28casting.29 # ...
 
Pre-Strong context: Deproceduring, dereferencing & uniting. e.g. OP arguments
* soft(deproceduring for assignment),
* weak(dereferencing for slicing and OF selection),
* meek(dereferencing for indexing, enquiries and PROC calls),
* firm(uniting of OPerators),
Strong context only: widening (INT=>REAL=>COMPL), rowing (REAL=>[]REAL) & voiding
* strong(widening,rowing,voiding for identities/initialisations, arguments and casts et al)
Key points:
* arguments to OPerators do not widen or row!
* UNITING is permitted in OP/String ccontext.
 
There are 4 principle scenerios for most operators:
+---------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+
| OP e.g. * | SCALar | QUATernion |
+---------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+
| SCALar | SCAL * SCAL ... inherit | SCAL * QUAT |
+---------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+
| QUATernion | QUAT * SCAL | QUAT * QUAT |
+---------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+
However this is compounded with SUBtypes of the SCALar & isomorphs the QUATernion,
e.g.
* SCAL may be a superset of SHORT REAL or INT - a widening coercion is required
* QUAT may be a superset eg of COMPL or [4]INT
* QUAT may be a structural isomorph eg of [4]REAL
+---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+
| OP e.g. * | SUBSCAL | SCALar | COQUAT | QUATernion |
+---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+
| SUBSCAL | | inherit | SUBSCAT*QUAT |
+---------------+ inherit +---------------+---------------+
| SCALar | | inherit | SCAL * QUAT |
+---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+
| COQUAT | inherit | inherit | inherit | COQUAT*QUAT |
+---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+
| QUATernion | QUAT*SUBSCAL | QUAT*SCAL | QUAT * COQUAT | QUAT * QUAT |
+---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+
Keypoint: if an EXPLICIT QUAT is not involved, then we can simple inherit, OR QUATINIT!

Mainly a {{trans|C#}} On the minus side we have no way to define a conversion to Quaternion from any suitable (numeric) type.
On the plus side we can avoid the stuff to make the equality structual (from the referential equality default) by just declaring it as an attribute to the type and let the compiler handle the details.

The <code>math.quaternions</code> vocabulary provides words for treating sequences like quaternions. <code>norm</code> and <code>vneg</code> come from the <code>math.vectors</code> vocabulary. Oddly, I wasn't able to find a word for adding a real to a quaternion, so I wrote one.

Conventions for method receiver, parameter, and return values modeled after Go's big number package.
It provides flexibility without requiring unnecessary object creation.
The test program creates only four quaternion objects, the three inputs and one more for an output.
The three inputs are reused repeatedly without being modified.
The output is also reused repeatedly, being overwritten for each operation.

Here the dependent type <code>CD n a</code> is implemented. It depends on a natural number <code>n</code>, which is the number of iterations carried out, and the base type <code>a</code>.

T is a rank 3 tensor which allows us to express quaternion product ab as the inner product ATB if A and B are 4 element vectors representing the quaternions a and b. (Note also that once we have defined <code>mul</code> we no longer need to retain the definition of T, so we define T using =. instead of =:). The value of T is probably more interesting than its definition, so:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="j"> T
1 0 0 0
0 1 0 0
0 0 1 0
0 0 0 1
 
0 _1 0 0

0 _1 0 0
 
0 0 0 _1
0 0 _1 0
0 1 0 0
1 0 0 0</syntaxhighlight>
 
In other words, the last dimension of T corresponds to the structure of the right argument (columns, in the display of T), the first dimension of T corresponds to the structure of the left argument (tables, in the display of T) and the middle dimension of T corresponds to the structure of the result (rows, in the display of T).
 
Example use:

Finally, note that when quaternions are used to represent [[wp:Quaternions_and_spatial_rotation|orientation or rotation]], we are typically only interested in unit length quaternions. As this is the typical application for quaternions, you will sometimes see quaternion multiplication expressed using "simplifications" which are only valid for unit length quaternions. But note also that in many of those contexts you also need to normalize the quaternion length after multiplication.
 
(An exception to this need to normalize unit length quaternions after multiplication might be when quaternions are represented as an index into a [[wp:Geodesic_grid|geodesic grid]]. For example, a grid with 16x20 faces would have a total of 15 vertices for each face (5+4+3+2+1), 3 of those vertices would be from the original 20 vertices of the icosahedron, and 9 of those vertices (5+4+3-3) would be on the edge of the original face (and, thus, used for two faces), the remaining 3 vertices would be interior. This means we would have 170 vertices (20+(20*9%2)+20*3, which would allow a quaternion to be represented in a single byte index into a list of 170 quaternions, and would allow quaternion multiplication to be represented as a 29kbyte lookup table. In some contexts - where quaternion multiplication is needed in high volume for secondary or tertiary issues (where precision isn't vital), such low accuracy quaternions might be adequate or even an advantage...)

A possible implementation of quaternions in Mercury (the simplest representation) would look like this. Note that this is a full module implementation, complete with boilerplate, and that it works by giving an explicit conversion function for floats, converting a float into a quaternion representation of that float. Thus the float value <code>7.0</code> gets turned into the quaternion representation <code>q(7.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)</code> through the function call <code>r(7.0)</code>.

Q1 + Q2 = q(5.000000, 7.000000, 9.000000, 11.000000)
Q2 + Q1 = q(5.000000, 7.000000, 9.000000, 11.000000)
6. Multiplication of a real number and a quaternion.
Multiplication is commutative.
Q * R = q(7.000000, 14.000000, 21.000000, 28.000000)
R * Q = q(7.000000, 14.000000, 21.000000, 28.000000)
7. Multiplication of two quaternions.
Multiplication is not commutative.
Q1 * Q2 = q(-56.000000, 16.000000, 24.000000, 26.000000)
Q2 * Q1 = q(-56.000000, 18.000000, 20.000000, 28.000000)

For simplicity, we have limited the type of quaternion fields to floats (i.e. float64). An implementation could use a generic type in order to allow other field types such as float32.

Note, this example uses operator overloads to perform the math operation. The operator overloads only work if the left-hand-side of the operation is a quaterion instance. Thus something like "7 + q1" would not work because this would get passed to the "+" of the string class. For those situations, the best solution would be an addition method on the .Quaternion class itself that took the appropriate action. I've chosen not to implement those to keep the example shorter.
