Hello everyone

I have the following code that calculate the distance between two points x(0,1) and y(0,1) but I don't get the answer

def distance(x, y): 
    dist = math.sqrt((x[0] - y[0]) ** 2 + (x[1] - y[1]) ** 2 )
    return dist
    
print(distance((0,0),(1,1)))

Please can anyone help me correct this error?

thank you in advance

 

What is the error? What do you get?

 

If that's your entire program you're missing the "import math" at the top. Aside from that I don't know what you're expecting that isn't working.

Just in case you're still waiting for an answer...
When you use 'Sum of Squares' to compute distance, you need to use the (difference in X) ** 2 + (difference in Y) ** 2, so ...
dist = math.sqrt((x[1] - x[0]) ** 2 + (y[1] - y[0]) ** 2 )

Best o' luck to ya.
