Very Very Very easy question !
Hello
I have no books in C. Could you help me please write the following equation in a c program
x1,x2,y1,y2 are all constants float
D=sqrt((x2-x1)squared +(y2-y1)squared)
print D
Thanks alot

can you give me a complete program that takes arguments from the user for x1,y1,x2,y2 please. I appreciate it alot. Thanks

with this I got:

go with zultis solution...looks perfect. Maybe except for the dx = x2 - x1 part!
I am a beginer but trying this program doesn't mean that i am an expert in C language. If i do mistakes please forgive me.
I tried in this way
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
float ss(float,float,float,float
main()
{
float x1,x2,y1,y2;
float D;
printf("\n please enter x2\n", x2);
scanf("%f", &x2);
printf("\n please enter x1\n", x1);
scanf("%f", &x1);
printf("\n please enter y2\n", y2);
scanf("%f", &y2);
printf("\n please enter y1\n", y1);
scanf("%f", &y1);
D = sqrt((x2-x1)*(x2-x1)) + sqrt((y2-y1)*(y2-y1));
printf("\n the summation: %f\n", D);
}

Please try this small code, i checked with Borland C++ compiler and it worked right.

scanf("%f", &y1);
