Idiom #200 Return hypotenuse

Compute the hypotenuse h of the triangle where the sides adjacent to the square angle have lengths x and y.

import :math
def sq(x) do
  x*x
end

def hypo(a,b) do
  sqrt(sq(a) + sq(b))
end
double hypo(double x, double y)
{
    return Math.Sqrt(Math.Pow(x, 2) + Math.Pow(y, 2));
}
let h = x.hypot(y);

Where x and y are floating-point values (f32 or f64).
fn hypot(x:f64, y:f64)-> f64 {
    let num = x.powi(2) + y.powi(2);
    num.powf(0.5)
}
#include <cmath>
auto h = std::hypot(x, y);

h, x, y may have types float, double, long double
