Python math - hypot() Function

The Python math.hypot() function returns the length of the vector from the origin to the point given by arguments. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Note: In version 3.8 and later, the support for n-dimensional point is added. Formerly, only two dimensional point was supported.

Syntax

 #Before version 3.8 math.hypot(x1, x2) #From version 3.8 math.hypot(*args) 

Parameters

Return Value

Returns sqrt(x² +y²).

Example:

In the example below, hypot() function returns sqrt(x² +y²).

import math print(math.hypot(3, 4)) print(math.hypot(5, 12)) print(math.hypot(8, 15)) 

The output of the above code will be:

 5.0 13.0 17.0 

Example:

The hypot() function can be used to calculate the length of the vector for multi-dimensional point also. Please note that this feature is added in version 3.8.

import math print(math.hypot(3, 4, 5)) 

The output of the above code will be:
