Given two coordinates (x1, y1, z1) and (x2, y2, z2) in 3 dimension. The task is to find the distance between them.
Examples : 
 

Input: x1, y1, z1 = (2, -5, 7)
       x2, y2, z1 = (3, 4, 5)
Output: 9.2736184955

Input: x1, y1, z1 = (0, 0, 0)
       x2, y2, z1 = (1, 1, 1)
Output: 1.73205080757


 


Approach: The formula for distance between two points in 3 dimension i.e (x1, y1, z1) and (x2, y2, z2) has been derived from Pythagorean theorem which is:
Distance = $\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2} + (y2-y1)^{2} + (z2-z1)^{2}}$
Below is the implementation of above formulae: 
 

C++

// C++ program to find
// distance between
// two points in 3 D.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;
 
// function to print distance
void distance(float x1, float y1,
            float z1, float x2,
            float y2, float z2)
{
    float d = sqrt(pow(x2 - x1, 2) +
                pow(y2 - y1, 2) +
                pow(z2 - z1, 2) * 1.0);
    std::cout << std::fixed;
    std::cout << std::setprecision(2);
    cout << " Distance is " << d;
    return;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    float x1 = 2;
    float y1 = -5;
    float z1 = 7;
    float x2 = 3;
    float y2 = 4;
    float z2 = 5;
     
    // function call for distance
    distance(x1, y1, z1,
            x2, y2, z2);
    return 0;
}

{

                   pow(y2 - y1, 2) +
                   pow(z2 - z1, 2) * 1.0);

</script>

                    

Output: 
Distance is 
9.2736184955

 

Time complexity: O(logn) as the inbuilt pow and sqrt function takes logarithmic time to complete all the operations hence the overall time taken by the algorithm is logarithmic.

Auxiliary Space: O(1) since no extra array is used so the space taken by the algorithm is constant
