Copy the following content as provided in the above tutorial into it

```cpp

        e[0] += v.e[0];
        e[1] += v.e[1];

using point3 = vec3;


// Vector Utility Functions

inline std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, const vec3& v) {
    return out << v.e[0] << ' ' << v.e[1] << ' ' << v.e[2];
}

### 2.2 Create color.h under src directory

Tutorial

{% embed url="<https://raytracing.github.io/books/RayTracingInOneWeekend.html#thevec3class/colorutilityfunctions>" %}

Copy the content of color.h from the above tutorial into the file

```cpp
#ifndef COLOR_H
#define COLOR_H

#include "vec3.h"

#include <iostream>

using color = vec3;

void write_color(std::ostream& out, const color& pixel_color) {
    auto r = pixel_color.x();
    auto g = pixel_color.y();
    auto b = pixel_color.z();

    // Translate the [0,1] component values to the byte range [0,255].
    int rbyte = int(255.999 * r);
    int gbyte = int(255.999 * g);
    int bbyte = int(255.999 * b);

    // Write out the pixel color components.
    out << rbyte << ' ' << gbyte << ' ' << bbyte << '\n';
}

#endif
```
