# HYPOT

Elemental Intrinsic Function (Generic): Returns the value of the Euclidean distance of the arguments.

result = HYPOT (x,y)

x | (Input) Must be of type real.
y | (Input) Must be of type real. It must be the same type and kind as x.

## Results

The result type and kind are the same as x.

The result has a value equal to a processor-dependent approximation to the Euclidean distance, , without undue overflow or underflow.

## Example

HYPOT (3.0, 4.0) has the approximate value 5.0.
