Regarding BOOST.Astronomy GSOC'19
Hello everyone, I am Sarthak Singhal currently in my second year pursuing Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Kanpur. I have checked out the astronomy library of boost and the work done on it in previous year's GSOC. I am interested in making contributions to this library. I am proficient in C++ and have an experience of about one and a half years. But before that I want to complete the programming competency test and wanted to know that whether I have to implement the vector class from scratch or I have use the part of boost/astronomy/coordinate/cartesian_representation.hpp and some other header files.

Making use of boost/astronomy/coordinate/cartesian_representation.hpp for the task given in the test is actual GSoC project and will be too much work for the test unless you have found a better way of doing it(I'll be impressed if you have). Implementing a simple class would be easier and I had this only in my mind while I was making the test. It's up to you which method you want to use, but it should satisfy the requirement stated in the test. -- Thank you, Ruchika Joshi
