segment_lengths

std.geometry.segment_lengths · Level L2

Lengths of the segments of a polyline through the points P, in order.

Lᵢ = ‖Pᵢ₊₁ − Pᵢ‖

Signature

segment_lengths(P: f64[n, d]) → f64[n−1]

Structure

The function as NOVA stores it: one box per input, operation and output, and arrows that carry values. A double border marks another library function this one runs — called once, or by Scan once per element; select it to open that function.

Verification

  • Signature proven by NOVA’s shape solver, for every size.
  • Agrees with the reference np.sqrt(np.sum(np.diff(P, axis=0) ** 2, axis=1)) to 80 digits (100-digit arithmetic), on all 40 test cases.
  • All 113 float64 results inside the running error bound; the closest uses 40% of it.
  • Interpreter and NumPy backend return bit-identical results.
