DISTANCE (Point1,Point2)

Where 'Point1' is any point with coordinates[x1,y1] and
'Point2' is any point with coordinates[x2,y2]
- DISTANCE(), returns the distance between two points.

DISTANCE(Point1,Point2)

For Example, DISTANCE([2,3],[6,7]) returns 5.656854249492381

This function returns the distance between two points using the following formula -

DISTANCE = SQRT( (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 )

        = SQRT((6-2)^2 + (7-3)^2)
        = SQRT(32)
        = 5.656854249492381

If any of the co-ordinates (x1,y1,x2,y2) is non-numeric, Calci returns an error message.
If the function is not available, then load the geometry by using 'load geometry' command.
