Program to calculate distance between two points

You are given two coordinates (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

Calculate the distance between two points.

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

calculate distance between two points

Below is the implementation of above idea.

Method 1: Without using the inbuilt library,

Python3

def distance(x1, y1, x2, y2):

  # Calculating distance

  return (((x2 - x1)**2 +(y2 - y1)**2)**0.5)

# Drivers Code

print( distance(3, 4, 4, 3))

Output

1.4142135623730951

Time Complexity: O(1)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Method 2: Using the inbuilt library,

C++

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to calculate distance
float distance(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2)
{
    // Calculating distance
    return sqrt(pow(x2 - x1, 2) + pow(y2 - y1, 2) * 1.0);
}

// Drivers Code
int main()
{
    cout << distance(3, 4, 4, 3);
    return 0;
}
