# Python Number hypot() Function

## Description:

This function return the Euclidean norm, sqrt(x*x + y*y).

## Syntax:

    hypot(x, y)

Note: This function is not accessible directly so we need to import math module and then we need to call this function using math static object.

## Parameters:

Here is the detail of parameters:

- x: Must be a numeric value

- y: Must be a numeric value

## Return Value:

The Euclidean norm, sqrt(x*x + y*y).

## Example:

    #!/usr/bin/python
    import math

    print "hypot(3, 2) : ",  math.hypot(3, 2)
    print "hypot(-3, 3) : ",  math.hypot(-3, 3)
    print "hypot(0, 2) : ",  math.hypot(0, 2)

This will produce following result:

    hypot(3, 2) :  3.60555127546
    hypot(-3, 3) :  4.24264068712
    hypot(0, 2) :  2.0
