How to calculates the distance between two decimal numbers (absolute difference) in C++

1 Answer

0 votes
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>   // for std::abs

// Function that returns the distance between two decimal numbers
double distanceBetween(double a, double b) {
    // The distance is the absolute value of the difference
    return std::abs(a - b);
}

int main() {
    // Test values
    double x1 = 100,  y1 = 45;
    double x2 = 100,  y2 = -15;
    double x3 = -100, y3 = -125;
    double x4 = -600, y4 = 100;

    // Print results
    std::cout << "Distance between " << x1 << " and " << y1 << " = "
              << distanceBetween(x1, y1) << std::endl;

    std::cout << "Distance between " << x2 << " and " << y2 << " = "
              << distanceBetween(x2, y2) << std::endl;

    std::cout << "Distance between " << x3 << " and " << y3 << " = "
              << distanceBetween(x3, y3) << std::endl;

    std::cout << "Distance between " << x4 << " and " << y4 << " = "
              << distanceBetween(x4, y4) << std::endl;
}



/*
run:

Distance between 100 and 45 = 55
Distance between 100 and -15 = 115
Distance between -100 and -125 = 25
Distance between -600 and 100 = 700

*/
