Elemental Intrinsic Function (Generic): Returns the value of the Euclidean distance of the arguments.
result = HYPOT (x,y)
x |
(Input) Must be of type real. |
y |
(Input) Must be of type real. It must be the same type and kind as x. |
Results
The result type and kind are the same as x.
The result has a value equal to a processor-dependent approximation to the Euclidean distance,
, without undue overflow or underflow.
Example
HYPOT (3.0, 4.0) has the approximate value 5.0.
