hypot

Compute the hypotenuse.

Usage

var hypot = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/fast/hypot' );

hypot( x, y )

Computes the hypotenuse.

var h = hypot( -5.0, 12.0 );
// returns 13.0

Notes

For a sufficiently large x and/or y, computing the hypotenuse will overflow.
```
var h = hypot( 1.0e154, 1.0e154 );
// returns Infinity
```
Similarly, for sufficiently small x and/or y, computing the hypotenuse will underflow.
```
var h = hypot( 1e-200, 1.0e-200 );
// returns 0.0
```

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/round' );
var hypot = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/fast/hypot' );

var x;
var y;
var h;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    x = round( randu()*100.0 ) - 50.0;
    y = round( randu()*100.0 ) - 50.0;
    h = hypot( x, y );
    console.log( 'hypot(%d,%d) = %d', x, y, h );
