[Scilab-users] hypot

[Rafael Guerra]

Hi,

If I am not mistaken, that seems to be what Scilab vector “norm“ does.

Regards,
Rafael

Subject: [Scilab-users] hypot


Hi all

In a text by Michael Baudin about Floating Points in Scilab:
forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/docscifloat/downloads/get/floatingpoint_v0.1.pdf
(David Goldberg is one of his references)

Here the special works of hypothenuses is further supported (page 43-44 onward).

I wonder, does Scilab have the hypot function, similar to Matlab? ... Googling gives me no hits for Scilab but a page of hits with Matlab. For example http://blogs.mathworks.com/loren/2008/02/07/why-hypot/

P.S. Sorry for previously posting this question with a different subject. Stray thoughts were later modified but the subject line didn't have my attention.
