I have some problem here with the 2D complex vector.
Either 1j2 and 4j10 are vectors (2D) measured from the origin OR they specify a vector in terms of two end points. In the first case they each have independent norms 1.414 and 2.236 as given by (|) In the second case the vector is,for example, the difference (+/-) 3j8which has a norm 8.544 when en produces the same result for a 4D vector 1 2 4 10 and for 2 2D vectors, we are somehow sending one of these into the third and fourth dimensions.

My problem is that a norm is defined for each of the vectors and or the vector result of operations on these vectors. en appears to be work for a single vector in any dimensional space but the Euclidean norm is a measure of the length of an individual vector- not of two independent vectors in the same space.

This is an easy one, but let's see what you come up with.

The Euclidian norm or length of a vector is the square root of the sum of the 
squares of its components.  Write verb  en  below.  It should be able to find 
the length of a vector of any number of components.

      ]yy =: 2 2 2 $ 3 4 5 12 8 15 7 24
3  4
5 12

8 15
7 24
      en yy  NB. lengths of 3 4 and 5 12 and 8 15 and 7 24
    5 13
