Hi

The formula for 3d distance is almost the same as the one for 2d
distance
for the points (x1, y1, z1) and (x2, y2, z2)
instead of distance=((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)^.5 as in 2d just do
                distance=((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2+(z2-z1)^2)^.5



I think in Euphoria we might do something like this:

--Start of Euphoria Code
sequence p1, p2
atom distance

p1={1,2,3) ---- 3d coordinates of point 1
p2={4,5,6) ---- 3d coordinates of point 2
distance=((p2[1]-p1[1])^2 + (p2[2]-p1[2])^2 + (p2[3]-p1[3])^2)^.5

-- End of Euphoria Code

This code is just off the top of my head - I'm sure a much more
elegant and compact expression is possible in Euphoria.
