float[] vvv = { 20.0, 30.0, 40.0 };

void setup() {
  size(100, 100);
  v = new PVector(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
  v.set(vvv);
  println(v.x);  // Prints "20.0"
  println(v.y);  // Prints "30.0"
  println(v.z);  // Prints "40.0"
}
Description Sets the x, y, and z component of the vector using three separate variables, the data from a PVector, or the values from a float array.
Syntax 
vec.set(x, y, z)
vec.set(v)
vec.set(array)
Parameters
vec any variable of type PVector
x float: the x component of the vector
y float: the y component of the vector
z float: the z component of the vector
v PVector: the x, y, and z components from a PVector object
array float[]: the x, y (and maybe z) components from a float array
