numpy.hypot()

numpy.hypot(x1, x2[, out]) =

Given the ?legs? of a right triangle, return its hypotenuse.

Equivalent to sqrt(x1**2 + x2**2), element-wise. If x1 or x2 is scalar_like (i.e., unambiguously cast-able to a scalar type), it is broadcast for use with each element of the other argument. (See Examples)

Parameters:

Parameters:	x1, x2 : array_like Leg of the triangle(s). out : ndarray, optional Array into which the output is placed. Its type is preserved and it must be of the right shape to hold the output. See doc.ufuncs.
Returns:	z : ndarray The hypotenuse of the triangle(s).

x1, x2 : array_like

Leg of the triangle(s).

out : ndarray, optional

Array into which the output is placed. Its type is preserved and it must be of the right shape to hold the output. See doc.ufuncs.

Returns:

z : ndarray

The hypotenuse of the triangle(s).

Examples

>>> np.hypot(3*np.ones((3, 3)), 4*np.ones((3, 3)))
array([[ 5.,  5.,  5.],
       [ 5.,  5.,  5.],
       [ 5.,  5.,  5.]])

Example showing broadcast of scalar_like argument:

>>> np.hypot(3*np.ones((3, 3)), [4])
array([[ 5.,  5.,  5.],
       [ 5.,  5.,  5.],
       [ 5.,  5.,  5.]])
