Minkowski distance in Python

# Python3 program for finding Minkowski distance

 
# import math library

from math import *

from decimal i mport Decimal

 
# Function of the distance between two points
# and calculate the value of the distance to the given
# root value (p - root value)

def p_root (value, root):

root_value = 1 / float (root)

return round (Decimal (value) * *

Decimal (root_value), 3 )

def minkowski_distance (x, y, p_value):

# pass the function p_root to calculate

# all vector value in parallel

return (p_root ( sum ( pow ( abs (a - b), p_value)

for a, b in zip (x, y)), p_value))

 
Driver code

vector1 = [ 0 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]

vector2 = [ 2 , 4 , 3 , 7 ]

p = 3

print   (minkowski_distance (vector1, vector2, p))
