hypot, hypotf : distance from origin

Synopsis

#include <math.h>
double hypot(double x, double y);
float hypotf(float x, float y);
```### Description

hypot calculates the Euclidean distance between the origin (0,0) and a point represented by the Cartesian coordinates (x,y). hypotf differs only in the type of its arguments and result.### Returns

Normally, the distance value is returned. On overflow, hypot returns HUGE_VAL and sets errno to ERANGE. You can change the error treatment with matherr.
