```

### Syntax

```
createVector([x], [y], [z])
```

### Description

The `createVector()` function  is used to **create a 2D or 3D vector**, which is essentially an object with `x`, `y`, and optionally `z` properties that represent a magnitude and direction in space.

Once you have created a vector using the `createVector()` function, you can access its components using the `x`, `y`, and `z` properties.
