Find the distance between 2D coordinates (x, y) and the origin (0, 0).
System.out.println(Math.hypot(3, 4));System. out.println(Math.hypot(1, 1));System. out.println(Math.hypot(1, 10)); |
The hypot() method computes the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle, representing the distance between a 2D point (x, y) and the origin (0, 0).
It’s essentially equivalent to Math.sqrt(x * x + y * y), but it’s optimized to avoid potential overflows and underflows that may occur during intermediate calculations like addition and multiplication.
