ee.Number.hypot

  • Number.hypot calculates the magnitude of a 2D vector [x, y].

  • The method takes two Number arguments, left (x) and right (y).

  • It returns a Number representing the calculated magnitude.

  • Examples demonstrate calculating the length from the origin to a point (x,y) using hypot.

 Calculates the magnitude of the 2D vector [x, y].

UsageReturns
Number.hypot(right)Number
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: leftNumberThe left-hand value.
rightNumberThe right-hand value.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Left input is x and right input is y, representing point (x,y).
print('Length from origin to point (0,0)', ee.Number(0).hypot(0));  // 0
print('Length from origin to point (3,0)', ee.Number(3).hypot(0));  // 3
print('Length from origin to point (3,4)', ee.Number(3).hypot(4));  // 5
print('Length from origin to point (-3,4)', ee.Number(-3).hypot(4));  // 5
print('Length from origin to point (-3,-4)', ee.Number(-3).hypot(-4));  // 5
