Metric - Manhattan Distance between two points

The java program finds distance between two points using manhattan distance equation.  The points can be a scalar or vector and the passed to function as arguments can be integer or double datatype.


1D distance between two points
It measures distance between two points on a line (1D) by absolute difference between them and the points are scalar value.






Two points on 2D cartesian space
It measures distance between two points on a plane. The points are vectors and each has two elements. The resulting distance equals sum of the difference of each element on the vectors.







Two points on N-Dimensional cartesian space
It measures distance between two points or vectors on N-dimensional space. The points are vectors and each has N elements.The resulting distance equals sum of the difference of each element on the vectors.











This is an example calculation shown below explain how to find the distance between two vectors using Manhattan distance formula. A vector,array of elements declared and initialized in Java using one dimensional array.


        int A[] = { 2 ,3 };    // 2D vector A 
 
 int B[] = { 4,1 };    // 2D vector B
 
   

find distance between two vector A and B using Manhattan distance equation.

||A-B|| = abs(A[0]-B[0]) + abs(A[1]-B[1]) = abs(2-4) + abs(3-1) ); = abs(-2) + abs(2) ; = 2 + 2 ; ||A-B|| = 4 ; Manhattan Distance between vectors A=[2,3] and B=[4,1] is 4
