Solution to the distance formula within a Point class
public class Point { private double x; private double y; public Point(double x, double y) { this.x = x; this.y = y; } public double getX() { return x; } public double getY() { return y; } public double square(double x) { return x * x; } public double distance(Point otherPoint) { return Math.sqrt(square(x - otherPoint.getX()) + square(y - otherPoint.getY())); } public String toString() { return "(" + x + ", " + y + ")"; } }
