euclidean {rSDI}

Calculate Euclidean Distance Between Two Points

Description

This function calculates the Euclidean distance between two points. The Euclidean is the 'straight line' distance between two points in a two-dimensional space. This function takes the coordinates of two points (longitude and latitude) and calculates the straight distance between them, assuming flat Earth approximation.

Usage

euclidean(x1, y1, x2, y2)

Arguments

x1

X-coordinate of the first point.

y1

Y-coordinate of the first point.

x2

X-coordinate of the second point.

y2

Y-coordinate of the second point.

Value

The Euclidean distance between the two points.

Examples

euclidean(1, 2, 4, 6)
# Euclidean distance between points (1, 2) and (4, 6).
