pub trait MetricSpace: Sized {
    type Metric;

    fn distance2(self, other: Self) -> Self::Metric;

    fn distance(self, other: Self) -> Self::Metric
    where
        Self::Metric: Float
, { ... } }
Expand description

A type with a distance function between values.

Examples are vectors, points, and quaternions.

Required Associated Types§

The metric to be returned by the distance function.

Required Methods§

Returns the squared distance.

This does not perform an expensive square root operation like in MetricSpace::distance method, and so can be used to compare distances more efficiently.

Provided Methods§

The distance between two values.
