Swift - hypot() Function
The Swift hypot() function returns square root of sum of squares of two arguments, i.e., sqrt(x2 +y2).
Syntax
In Foundation framework, it is defined as follows:
public func hypot(_ lhs: CGFloat, _ rhs: CGFloat) -> CGFloat public func hypot(_ lhs: Float, _ rhs: Float) -> Float public func hypot(_ lhs: Float80, _ rhs: Float80) -> Float80 public func hypot(_ __x: Double, _ __y: Double) -> Double
Parameters
x, lhs |
Specify a value. |
y, rhs |
Specify a value. |
Return Value
Returns positive square root of sum of squares of arguments.
Example:
In the example below, hypot() function is used to return positive square root of sum of squares of arguments.
import Foundation
print("hypot(3.0, 4.0) = \(hypot(3.0, 4.0))")
print("hypot(5.0, 12.0) = \(hypot(5.0, 12.0))")
print("hypot(8.0, 15.0) = \(hypot(8.0, 15.0))")
print("hypot(20.0, 15.0) = \(hypot(20.0, 15.0))")
print("hypot(-20.0, 15.0) = \(hypot(-20.0, 15.0))")
The output of the above code will be:
hypot(3.0, 4.0) = 5.0 hypot(5.0, 12.0) = 13.0 hypot(8.0, 15.0) = 17.0 hypot(20.0, 15.0) = 25.0 hypot(-20.0, 15.0) = 25.0
