1 Answer

0 votes
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>   // for fabs

// 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 fabs(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
    printf("Distance between %.2f and %.2f = %.2f\n", x1, y1, distanceBetween(x1, y1));
    printf("Distance between %.2f and %.2f = %.2f\n", x2, y2, distanceBetween(x2, y2));
    printf("Distance between %.2f and %.2f = %.2f\n", x3, y3, distanceBetween(x3, y3));
    printf("Distance between %.2f and %.2f = %.2f\n", x4, y4, distanceBetween(x4, y4));

    return 0;
}


/*
run:

Distance between 100.00 and 45.00 = 55.00
Distance between 100.00 and -15.00 = 115.00
Distance between -100.00 and -125.00 = 25.00
Distance between -600.00 and 100.00 = 700.00
