dist()

Class

PVector

Description

Calculates the Euclidean distance between two points (considering a point as a vector object).

Examples

  • PVector  v1 = new PVector(10, 20, 0);
    PVector  v2 = new PVector(60, 80, 0); 
    float d = v1.dist(v2);
    println(d);  // Prints "78.10249"
    
  • PVector  v1 = new PVector(10, 20, 0);
    PVector  v2 = new PVector(60, 80, 0); 
    float d = PVector.dist(v1, v2);
    println(d);  // Prints "78.10249"
    

Syntax

  • .dist(v)
  • .dist(v1, v2)

Parameters

  • v(PVector)the x, y, and z coordinates of a PVector
  • v1(PVector)any variable of type PVector
  • v2(PVector)any variable of type PVector

Return

  • float
