Java Math - hypot() Method
The java.lang.Math.hypot() method returns square root of sum of squares of two arguments, i.e., sqrt(x2 +y2). In special cases it returns the following:
- If either argument is infinite, then the result is positive infinity.
- If either argument is NaN and neither argument is infinite, then the result is NaN.
Syntax
public static double hypot(double x, double y)
Parameters
x |
Specify a value. |
y |
Specify a value. |
Return Value
Returns sqrt(x2 +y2).
Exception
NA.
Example:
In the example below, hypot() method returns sqrt(x2 +y2).
import java.lang.*;
public class MyClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(Math.hypot(3, 4));
System.out.println(Math.hypot(5, 12));
System.out.println(Math.hypot(8, 15));
}
}
The output of the above code will be:
5.0 13.0 17.0
