The code snippet identified calculates the Pythagorean Theorem given points a and b. However, the current implementation lacks information explaining the purpose of each calculation making it unclear for beginner friendly uses.
The code includes a complex algorithm that squares both variables a and b which are then added together then the answer is represented by taking the square root of that answer.
Goals for Refactoring:
Optimization can be implemented by potential simplifications and optimizations that can improve the algorithm's readability, as the current operation can be complex and not as beginner friendly while still achieving optimizations to enhance the function.
Below is the attached code snippet of the issue.
import math
def pythagorean_theorem(a, b):
return math.sqrt(a**2 + b**2)
# Example usage:
side1 = 3
side2 = 4
hypotenuse = pythagorean_theorem(side1, side2)
print("Length of the hypotenuse:", hypotenuse)
