c distance between 2 points
C Program to Calculate Distance Between Two Points
To calculate the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) in a 2D plane, you can use the distance formula:
Distance Formula: The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:
distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Here's a C program to calculate the distance between two points:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main() {
float x1, y1, x2, y2, distance;
printf("Enter the coordinates of point 1 (x1 y1): ");
scanf("%f %f", &x1, &y1);
printf("Enter the coordinates of point 2 (x2 y2): ");
scanf("%f %f", &x2, &y2);
distance = sqrt(pow((x2 - x1), 2) + pow((y2 - y1), 2));
printf("Distance between the two points: %f\n", distance);
return 0;
}
This program prompts the user to enter the coordinates of two points and then calculates the distance using the distance formula.
