You will be given a list of tuples where each tuple indicates a point i.e. (x, y) in a 2-dimensional coordinate system. You need to write a python program to find the minimum distance and the point that is closest to the origin i.e. (0,0)
You will be given a list of tuples where each tuple indicates a point i.e. (x, y) in a 2-dimensional coordinate system.
You need to write a python program to find the minimum distance and the point that is closest to the origin i.e. (0,0)
=====================================================
Hint:
The formula of distance = √((Δx)2+(Δy)2) As you are calculating the distance from the origin (0,0), you can simply use
distance = √(x2+y2)
You can create a list of distances from each point and sort that list using your personal favorite sorting
You can use python build-in functions for list: list.index(), min()
=====================================================
Sample Input 1
[(5,3), (2,9), (-2,7), (-3,-4), (0,6), (7,-2)]
Sample Output 1
The closest point is (-3, -4) which has a distance of 5.0 from the origin.
=====================================================
Sample Input 1
[(1,7), (4,5), (-1,7), (-2,0), (1,1), (5,-1)]
Sample Output 1
The closest point is (1, 1) which has a distance of 1.4142135623730951 from the origin.
