C hypot Function

The C hypot function is a Math Function, used to calculate the Trigonometric Hypotenuse Value of given two sides. The syntax of the hypot in C Programming is

double hypot(double number);

Hypothenuse = square root of the sum of squares of two sides (specified arguments).

C hypot Function Example

The math hypot Function allows you to find the Hypotenuse Value of a given side. In this program, We are going to find the hypotenuse and display the output.

/* Example for HYPOT in C Programming */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main()
{ 
    printf("\n The Hypotenuse Value of 10 & 0  = %.4f ", hypot(10, 0));
    printf("\n The Hypotenuse Value of 0 & -5  = %.4f ", hypot(0, -5));
    
    printf("\n The Hypotenuse Value of 5 & -2  = %.4f ", hypot(5, -2));
    printf("\n The Hypotenuse Value of -2 & 10 = %.4f ", hypot(-2, 10));
    
    printf("\n The Hypotenuse Value of 10 & 12 = %.4f ", hypot(10, 12));
    printf("\n The Hypotenuse Value of 5 & 20  = %.4f ", hypot(5, 20));
    
    return 0;
}

Output

 The Hypotenuse Value of 10 & 0  = 10.0000 
 The Hypotenuse Value of 0 & -5  = 5.0000 
 The Hypotenuse Value of 5 & -2  = 5.3852 
 The Hypotenuse Value of -2 & 10 = 10.1980 
 The Hypotenuse Value of 10 & 12 = 15.6205 
 The Hypotenuse Value of 5 & 20  = 20.6155

C hypot Example 2

In this C Programming example, we are allowing the user to enter their two sides of a triangle. Next, we used the hypot function to find the hypotenuse of a user given side.

/* Example for HYPOT in C Programming */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main()
{
    int side1, side2;
    float hValue;

    printf(" Please Enter the First and Second Side :  ");
    scanf("%d%d", &side1, &side2);
  
    hValue = hypot(side1, side2);
  
    printf("\n The Hypotenuse Value of %d & %d = %.4f ", side1, side2, hValue);
  
    return 0;
}
