#cross_product(vector) ⇒ Object

z-coordinate of cross product (also known as vector product or outer product) It is positive if other vector should be turned counter-clockwise in order to superpose them. It is negetive if other vector should be turned clockwise in order to superpose them. It is zero when vectors are collinear. Remark: x- and y- coordinates of plane vectors cross product are always zero
