n this exercise, you will write a Point structure that represents a space in two-dimensional space. This Point should have both x and y fields (please use these exact names). You will also write three functions for dealing with Points; freadPoint, manhattanDistance, and euclideanDistance. freadPoint should take in a FILE handle and a Point (by reference) that it will initialize; it should not do any prompting. It will return true if it succeeds in reading a point and false if it fails. Each point will be a line in the file, with the x and y coordinates separated by spaces. The manhattanDistance function w
In this exercise, you will write a Point structure that represents a space in two-dimensional space.
This Point should have both x and y fields (please use these exact names).
You will also write three functions for dealing with Points; freadPoint, manhattanDistance,
and euclideanDistance. freadPoint should take in a FILE handle and a Point (by reference) that
it will initialize; it should not do any prompting. It will return true if it succeeds in reading a point
and false if it fails. Each point will be a line in the file, with the x and y coordinates separated by
spaces.
The manhattanDistance function will take two Points and compute the Manhattan distance
(city block distance) between them, which is the distance that you would travel if you are restricted
to walking parallel to either the x or y axes. Likewise, the euclideanDistance function will take
two Points and compute the Euclidean distance (straight-line distance) between them. Neither
function prints anything; they simply return a value.
Your main function will prompt the user to enter two points and then display the Manhattan
and Euclidean distances. You should call each of your functions (using stdio as a parameter to
freadPoint) to do so.
You may want to use the fabs and sqrt functions to help you with this assignment.
