The last example on Pythagoras’ theorem is quite simple. Let’s take a problem from the same topic, but more complicated. Suppose we have a circle in the center of x-axis and y-axis (i.e. center at coordinates 0,0). Let’s write a test for finding an arbitrary point inside the circle.
Here again Pythagoras will help us. In the general case, the formula is as follows:
(x - center_x)^2 + (y - center_y)^2 < radius^2
But our conditions are a little simpler, the center of the circle is at coordinates 0,0; that’s why the code is like this:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"math"
)
func main() {
r := 11.0
var x, y float64 = -7.77, -7.77
if math.Pow(x, 2)+math.Pow(y, 2) <= math.Pow(r, 2) {
fmt.Println("Inside")
} else {
fmt.Println("Outside")
}
}
