Distance(p1, p2)
p1
-
n-element list or n-Vector
p2
The command Distance(p1, p2) computes the distance between the points p1 and p2, which must have the same dimensionality (and orientation, when each of the points is a Vector).
This command is part of the Student[Calculus1] package, so it can be used in the form Distance(..) only after executing the command with(Student[Calculus1]). However, it can always be used in the form Student[Calculus1][Distance](..).
with⁡Student:-Calculus1:
Distance⁡0,0,1,2
5
Distance⁡1,2,3,0,−1,2
11
The Student[Calculus1][Distance] command was introduced in Maple 2018.
For more information on Maple 2018 changes, see Updates in Maple 2018.
