math distance function python code example

Example 1: distance formula in python

import math.
def calculateDistance(x1,y1,x2,y2):
dist = math.sqrt((x2 - x1)**2 + (y2 - y1)**2)
return dist.
print calculateDistance(x1, y1, x2, y2)

Example 2: how to make a distance function in python

import math
p1 = [4, 0]
p2 = [6, 6]
distance = math.sqrt( ((p1[0]-p2[0])**2)+((p1[1]-p2[1])**2) )

print(distance)
