in reply to about the application of arrow operator

Please use code tags!

The code you are showing is calculating the sum of products of the x y and z component of two vectors a and b.

The arrows have the highest precedence in this calculation, then the multiplication and last the addition.

See "algebraic definition" in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_product for mathematical background.

a1 is $a->X and so on. ..
