Java Math hypot() method with Example

java.lang.Math.hypot() function is an inbuilt math function in Java that returns the Euclidean norm, . The function returns sqrt(x² + y²) without intermediate overflow or underflow.

• If either argument is infinite, then the result is positive infinity.
• If either argument is NaN and neither argument is infinite, then the result is NaN.

Syntax :

public static double hypot(double x, double y)
Parameter :
x and y are the values. 

Returns :
sqrt(x² +y²) without intermediate overflow or underflow.

Example 1 : To show working of java.lang.Math.hyptot() method.

// Java program to demonstrate working
// of java.lang.Math.hypot() method
import java.lang.Math;

class Gfg {

    // Driver code
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        double x = 3;
        double y = 4;

        // when both are not infinity
        double result = Math.hypot(x, y);
        System.out.println(result);

        double positiveInfinity =
               Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY;
        double negativeInfinity =
               Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY;
        double nan = Double.NaN;

        // when 1 or more argument is NAN
        result = Math.hypot(nan, y);
        System.out.println(result);

        // when both arguments are infinity
        result = Math.hypot(positiveInfinity,
                            negativeInfinity);
        System.out.println(result);
    }
}

Output:

5.0
NaN
Infinity
