dist()

Calculate the distance between 2 points

Example

Syntax

In two dimensions

dist(x1, y1, x2, y2)

Input	Description
x1	the x-coordinate of the first point
y1	the y-coordinate of the first point
x2	the x-coordinate of the second point
y2	the y-coordinate of the second point

In three dimensions

dist(x1, y1, x2, y2, z1, z2)

Input	Description
z1	the z-coordinate of the first point
z2	the z-coordinate of the second point

    text(round(dist(x1, y1, x2, y2)), 50, 50)

  sphere(dist(0, 0, 0, x, y, z))
  
  x+=3*noise(2*frameCount)*random([-1, 1])
  y+=4*noise(frameCount)*random([im-1, 1])
  z+=noise(0.5*frameCount)*random([-1, 1])

Description

Calculates the distance between two points, in either two or three dimensions. This uses the Euclidean distance, usually called the Pythagorean distance
