Calculate the distance between two points

The distance between two points in space
Euclidean distance （ Euclidean distance） Also known as Euclidean distance , It is a commonly used definition of distance , It's in m The real distance between two points in dimensional space .

---

Solution ：

Coordinate entity class

public class Point {
    
    public float x;
    public float y;
    public float z;

    public Point (float x, float y, float z) {
    
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
        this.z = z;
    }
}

Calculation method
