set multiple floats in one variable?

hey I saw someone do this

// bullet is speed 5, aimed at timmy:

float3 v = ((timmy.transform.position - transform.position).Normalized)*5;
bullet.velocity = v;

the transform.position are Vector3(float x, float y, float z);

so i thought i could do this

private float3 _position;
public Food ()
{
    float3 position = _position(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f);
}

but that says: The type or namespace name `float3' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

so how would i let one variable take multiple values of the same type?

You have multiple possibilities.

You can declare a class (or a struct):

public class float3
{
    public float X { get; set; }
    public float Y { get; set; }
    public float Z { get; set; }
}

You can use an array:

private float[] _position;
public Food ()
{
    _position = new[] {0.0f,0.0f,0.0f};
}

Or you can use a tuple

private Tuple<float,float,float> _position;
public Food ()
{
    _position = Tuple.Create(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f);
}
