glm returning nan on simple translate

Question

I\'m tinkering with OpenGL using glfw, glad, and glm. In one of the tutorials I\'m using, they demonstrate some simple usage of glm as so:

glm::vec4 vec(1.0f         


        

Answer 1

Answering my own question: though the tutorial and other sources said that glm would automatically instantiate an identity vector for

glm::mat4 trans;

it did not. Looking at a different tutorial, it seems that you can do so explicitly with

glm::mat4 trans = glm::mat4(1.0f);

And this solved the problem!
