Calculate Distance of Two Points using C Structure

Let A (x₁, y₁) and B (x₂, y₂) are two points. Then the formula to calculate the distance between these two points is:

In general, we can take 4 variables x₁, y₁, x₂, y₂ and calculate their distance using above formula. But it will be smarter if we use a structure that represent a single point. Here is a example program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>

struct Point {
    int x, y;
};


double getDistance(struct Point a, struct Point b)
{
    double distance;
    distance = sqrt((a.x - b.x) * (a.x - b.x) + (a.y-b.y) *(a.y-b.y));
    return distance;
}



int main()
{
    struct Point a, b;
    printf("Enter coordinate of point a: ");
    scanf("%d %d", &a.x, &a.y);
    printf("Enter coordinate of point b: ");
    scanf("%d %d", &b.x, &b.y);
    printf("Distance between a and b: %lf\n", getDistance(a, b));


    return 0;
}

Here is sample run of the program:
