public var magnitude: float;
public float magnitude;

Description

Returns the length of this vector (Read Only).

The length of the vector is square root of (x*x+y*y+z*z).

If you only need to compare magnitudes of some vectors, you can compare squared magnitudes of them using sqrMagnitude (computing squared magnitudes is faster).
