\name{hypot} \alias{hypot} \title{Hypotenuse Function} \description{ Square root of sum of squares } \usage{ hypot(x, y) } \arguments{ \item{x, y}{Vectors of real or complex numbers of the same size} } \details{ Element-by-element computation of the square root of the sum of squares of vectors resp. matrices \code{x} and \code{y}. } \value{ Returns a vector or matrix of the same size. } \note{ Returns \code{c()} if \code{x} or \code{y} is empty and the other one has length 1. In all other cases, \code{x} and \code{y} have to be of the same size. } \examples{ hypot(3,4) hypot(c(0, 0), c(3, 4)) } \keyword{ array }
