Compute the Euclidean Distance Between Two Points

Computes the linear (Euclidean) distance from a vector of differences between the coordinates of two points.

Usage

deuclid(h)

Arguments

h

A numeric vector containing the differences between the coordinates of two points (for example, (x2 - x1, y2 - y1, z2 - z1)).

Value

A numeric value representing the Euclidean distance between the two points.

Examples

# Differences between two points in 3D
h <- c(3 - 0, 4 - 0, 0 - 0)

# Compute the Euclidean distance
deuclid(h)
