Calculates the distance between two points in any number of dimensions.
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `Object.keys()` and `Array.prototype.map()` to map each coordinate to its difference between the two points.
|
||||
- Use `Math.hypot()` to calculate the Euclidean distance between the two points.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const euclideanDistance = (a, b) =>
|
||||
Math.hypot(...Object.keys(a).map(k => b[k] - a[k]));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
euclideanDistance([1, 1], [2, 3]); // ~2.2361
|
||||
euclideanDistance([1, 1, 1], [2, 3, 2]); // ~2.4495
|
||||
```
