Lab: Functions and Exceptions $-$ Distance Calculation

Learning Objectives

Practice writing functions with multiple parameters

Implement error handling using try$/$except blocks

Use mathematical calculations with the math module

Practice formatting output with precision

Problem Description

Calculate the Euclidean distance between two points using the distance formula:

d$=($x$2$x$1)2+($y$2$y$1)2$

Function Requirements

get$\_$float$\_$input$($prompt$)$

Validates user input to ensure it can be converted to a float. Returns the float value.Catches ValueError if the input is not a valid float, and continues to prompt the user for input. It does not exit the function until valid input is received.

get$\_$int$\_$input$($prompt$)$

Validates user input to ensure it can be converted to an integer. Returns the integer value.Catches ValueError if the input is not a valid integer, and continues to prompt the user for input. It does not exit the function until valid input is received.

calculate$\_$distance$($x$1,$ y$1,$ x$2,$ y$2)$

Calculates the distance between two points using the distance formulaReturns the calculated distanceYou may use the $**$ operator to calculate the square of a numberYou may use the math.sqrt function to calculate the square root

print$\_$formatted$\_$result$($distance$,$ precision$)$

Formats the distance result with specified precisionPrints the formatted result to the console
