Python hypot() Function
The hypot() function in Python returns the Euclidean norm, which is equivalent to the square root of the sum of squares of its arguments.
It is commonly used to calculate the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle given the lengths of the other two sides.
Syntax
math.hypot(x, y)Parameters
- x: A number representing one side of the right triangle.
- y: A number representing the other side of the right triangle.
Returns
Returns the Euclidean distance from the origin to the point (x, y), i.e., √(x² + y²).
Example
import math
print(math.hypot(3, 4)) # Output: 5.0
print(math.hypot(5, 12)) # Output: 13.0
print(math.hypot(8, 15)) # Output: 17.0Notes
- The function is part of the
mathmodule and must be imported before use. - It handles negative values correctly; the sign of the input does not affect the result.
- For higher-dimensional cases,
math.hypot()can also accept more than two arguments.
