Program to calculate distance between two points
You are given two co-ordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) of a two dimensional graph. Find the distance between them.
Examples:
Input : x1, y1 = (3, 4)
x2, y2 = (7, 7)
Output : 5
Input : x1, y1 = (3, 4)
x2, y2 = (4, 3)
Output : 1.41421
We will use the distance formula derived from Pythagorean theorem. The formula for distance between two point (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is
Distance = 
We can get above formula by simply applying Pythagoras theorem
Below is the implementation of above idea.
C++
#include <bits/stdc++.h>using namespace std;// Function to calculate distancefloat distance(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2){ // Calculating distance return sqrt(pow(x2 - x1, 2) + pow(y2 - y1, 2) * 1.0);}// Drivers Codeint main(){ cout << distance(3, 4, 4, 3); return 0;}// This code is contributed by Aditya Kumar (adityakumar129) |
