If you had a function called "add_numbers(x, y)", you would say that x 
and y are the numbers which are to be added. If you have a function 
called "add_vectors(u, v)", then u and v are the vectors to be added. 
Perhaps this example will help:


u = [1, 10, 100]
v = [2, 11, 111]
add_vectors(u, v)
=> [3, 21, 211]
