Java program to find distance between two points
Write a Java program to calculate the distance between two points (x1,x2) and (y1,y2) using formula:
Solution
import java.util.Scanner;
public class DistanceBetweenPoints
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter the x-coordinate of the first point: ");
double x1 = sc.nextDouble();
System.out.print("Enter the y-coordinate of the first point: ");
double y1 = sc.nextDouble();
System.out.print("Enter the x-coordinate of the second point: ");
double x2 = sc.nextDouble();
System.out.print("Enter the y-coordinate of the second point: ");
double y2 = sc.nextDouble();
double distance = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(x2 - x1, 2) + Math.pow(y2 - y1, 2));
System.out.println("The distance between the two points is: " + distance);
}
}
Output
