Write a C program to calculate the distance between the two points.

Solution:

#include<stdio.h>

#include<math.h>

int main()

{

int x1,x2,y1,y2;

int x,y;                            //temporary variables

float distance;

printf(“Enter X and Y coordinates of first point”);

scanf(“%d %d”,&x1,&y1);

printf(“Enter X and Y coordinates of Second point”);

scanf(“%d %d”,&x2,&y2);

x=x2-x1;

y=y2-y1;

distance=sqrt((x*x)+(y*y));

printf(“Distance: %.2f”,distance);

return 0;

}

Output:

Enter X and Y coordinates of first point

3   4

Enter X and Y coordinates of Second point

4   5

Distance: 1.414
