Arguments and Return Values Arguments: Two numeric arrays corresponding to the leg lengths of right triangles (not required to be positive, as this function has many applications beyond simple trigonometry) Return Value: An array of numbers whose values correspond to the hypotenuse lengths; output is double if input is double, float otherwise If no arguments are input, hyp() prints its description, as shown below. Usage Syntax: hyp(x) 'x' - a numeric array (any format) Examples dv> hyp() Pythagorean theorem - given legs, find hypotenuse hyp(a,b) returns sqrt(a^2+b^2) Works for arrays S.Marshall 12-06-2007 0 dv> hyp(3,4) 5.00000 dv> hyp(-1,1//2) 2x1x1 array of float, bsq format [8 bytes] 1.41421 2.23607
