: hypot (x, y)

: hypot (x, y, z, …)

Compute the element-by-element square root of the sum of the squares of x and y.

This is equivalent to sqrt (x.^2 + y.^2), but is calculated in a manner that avoids overflows for large values of x or y.

hypot can also be called with more than 2 arguments; in this case, the arguments are accumulated from left to right:

hypot (hypot (x, y), z)
hypot (hypot (hypot (x, y), z), w), etc.
