[A83] Re: Pythagorean's theorem
Good point... However, I do not only need to see which distance is greater,
but I also need the difference between the two. (I am writing a real-time
physics simulation implementing springs, by the way.) I think that I have
found a good way of going at it using a 514 byte LUT. I am too tired to
explain it tonight... maybe tomorrow.
