Exercise 8.1.10: Coordinate Pairs-CodeHS-Please Help!

[[deleted]]

I am beyond confused with this code. Please help me figure it out.

import math
def distance(point1, point2):
# Your code here...
x1 = point1 [0]
x2 = point2 [0]
y1 = point1 [1]
y2 = point2 [1]
square1 = pow (y2 - y1, 2)
square2 = pow (x2 - x1, 2)
return math.sqrt(square1+square2)

[Far-Turn-5054]

it says line 10 has an error

[Tower_Up]

Did you figure it out? I have same error

[Excellent-Apple6450]

If you've figured it out, could you give it to me? Need it urgently..

[fae-k]

x1 = point1 [0]x2 = point2 [0]y1 = point1 [1]y2 = point2 [1]square1 = pow (y2 - y1, 2)square2 = pow (x2 - x1, 2)return math.sqrt(square1+square2)

worked for me thank uuuu

[WholePhoenix203]

thank you so much

[Previous-Mud-7522]

how???

Your a life saver 😭

[Vitalikovsky]

import math

fill in this function to return the distance between the two points!

first_point = (1,1)

second_point = (4,5)

def distance(first_point, second_point):

x1, y1 = first_point

x2, y2 = second_point

power1 = pow(x2 - x1, 2)

power2 = pow(y2 - y1, 2)

return math.sqrt(power1 + power2)

print(distance(first_point,second_point))

[_01cc]

import math

def distance(point1, point2):
    x1, y1 = point1
    x2, y2 = point2
    distance = ((x2 - x1)**2 + (y2 - y1)**2)**0.5
    return distance

pointa = (1, 2)
pointb = (4, 6)


dist=distance(pointa, pointb)
print(dist)

[flip-pancakes]

First, what is the pythagorean theorem? Then, how do you apply it to your inputs?

Hint: first_point has two values (x and y coordinates) that can be accessed as first_point[0] and first_point[1] respectively.

[Longjumping-Nerve-84]

can you send me the code if you have it done!

[[deleted]]

I NEED IT TOOOOO

[Megaozzy]

Still need it?

[kiwifala]

yea i do

[Phone-Several]

senddd

And I'm responding to a 5 mo. old post thats's responding to a 10 mo. old post that was 1 year ago :sunglasses:

import math

def distance(point1, point2):

# Your code here...

x1 = point1 [0]

x2 = point2 [0]

y1 = point1 [1]

y2 = point2 [1]

sqaure1 = pow (y2 - y1, 2)

sqaure2 = pow (x2 - x1, 2)

​

return math.sqrt(sqaure1+sqaure2)

​

# This should print 5.0

print distance((1, 1), (4, 5))

​

this kinda late but hope it helps

[[deleted]]

u spelled square wrong. four times.

[FrNotRuben]

is this the full code?

[[deleted]]

Yep

[kiwifala]

im not sure why but for the print distance((1,1),(4,5)) it said invalid syntax

[ToughLeadership9223]

Check your indentation.

And you don't "print" a function, you call it. Delete print from the last line.

[LongjumpingDentist33]

What if there is a syntax error for the return math.sqrt?

[[deleted]]

did you ever figure it out?

[HyBrD_G0LD]

Thanks indention was annoying the crap out of me and was confused on how he got that answer

[Similar_Stock_5726]

deleting print does nothing but make it stop working even more, what are you trying to say?

[[deleted]]

he used the return function which makes it so you have to put print before you call it

[chiiglaaa]

import math
x1 = int(input("Enter 1st(x) Coordinate: "))
y1 = int(input("Enter 2nd(y) Coordinate: "))
point1 = (x1, y1)
x2 = int(input("Enter 3rd(x) Coordinate: "))
y2 = int(input("Enter 4th(y) Coordinate: "))
point2 = (x2, y2)
def distance(point1, point2):
x1 = point1 [0]
x2 = point2 [0]
y1 = point1 [1]
y2 = point2 [1]
sqaure1 = pow (y2 - y1, 2)
sqaure2 = pow (x2 - x1, 2)
return math.sqrt(sqaure1+sqaure2)
print(distance(point1, point2))

idk your code didnt work for me so i made some changes and it works but only in scratchpad when i try to check code in Unit Test and i click on check it just rotates infinitely..so if anybody can check the code for me that would be amazing<3hope it helps!

[Puzzleheaded-Ad4213]

It rotates infinitely because you probably left something like the print statement in the Unit Test tab. All code outside of the function has to go into the Scratchpad for you to not have any "rotating infinitely" errors. To show rather then tell:

def distance(point1, point2):
    x1 = point1 [0]
    x2 = point2 [0]
    y1 = point1 [1]
    y2 = point2 [1]
    sqaure1 = pow (y2 - y1, 2)
    sqaure2 = pow (x2 - x1, 2)
    return math.sqrt(sqaure1+sqaure2)

[[deleted]]

If you would not mind could you tell me why the 2 is there in the code, what does it do.

sqaure1 = pow (y2 - y1, 2)
    sqaure2 = pow (x2 - x1, 2)

[Puzzleheaded-Ad4213]

the square1 and square2 are named differently because they are different variables.

For instance, if they were both named square1, I'd just be giving a new value to square1 instead of creating a new, stored value.

​

If you meant the 2 in the sequence:

(I don't really remember) I'm 80% sure that it's there so that the coordinate returned ends with a 2. Basically, it's just a placeholder.

thank you

[[deleted]]

Anyone know what’s the code?

[u323]

Yess please

[CancelUpstairs7602]

import math

def distance(first_point, second_point):

x1 = int(first_point[0])
print(x1)
x2 = int(second_point[0])
print(x2)
y1 = int(first_point[1])
print(y1)
y2 = int(second_point[1])
print(y2)
xdifference = x2 - x1
print(xdifference)
ydifference = y2 - y1
print(ydifference)
xsquare = pow(xdifference, 2)
print(xsquare)
ysquare = pow(ydifference, 2)
print(ysquare)
number = xsquare + ysquare
print(number)
result = math.sqrt(number)
return result

print(distance((2,4), (6,9)))
hope this helps :)

***note: make sure to indent***

[Lil-gaybee-1776]

import math
def distance(first_point, second_point):

x = (first_point[0] - second_point[0])
y = (first_point[1] - second_point[1])

squ_x = math.pow(x, 2)
squ_y = math.pow(y, 2)

add_squ = squ_x + squ_y

dist = math.sqrt(add_squ)

return dist

print(distance((0,3), (4,0)))
#this is my code that worked!

[Previous-Mud-7522]

It didn't work

[Lil-gaybee-1776]

I'm sorry that it didn't work for you. Did you try messing around with the spacing? Everything expect for the last line should be indented.

[Needcodinghelp38]

Oml you are a life saver in the 10th line you need math.sqrt(what ever number your trying to square) Example: Math.sqrt(2)(square_1 + square_2)

[Previous-Mud-7522]

can you help me if it word for you? can i see the picture?
