:::::::Whatever you do, please be sure you understand the requirements stated in the [[Rosetta_Code:Add_a_Task|add a task]] page. You should only expect implementations to satisfy those parts of the task description which are valid for a task description. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 18:03, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
::::::::You removed the incorrect banner, but didn't you write that the first element of this structure is the real component? If so, e2 defined with 1 0 0 0 is a scalar, not a vector. In any case it is not orthonormal with the e1 and e3. I will add the creation of a function e(n), along with an orthonormality test, as a requirement to clarify that.--[[User:Grondilu|Grondilu]] ([[User talk:Grondilu|talk]]) 18:12, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
:::::::::I think you are confused.
:::::::::So... let's review: a quaternion consists of four orthogonal components. What you term the "scalar part" is a part of an orthonormal basis for quaternions. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 18:30, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
