Can I get some help with my Python homework?
>1. ask the user for the length of the two sides of the triangle
>2. Calculate the hypotenuse using the math.hyp function
>3. Print the hypotenuse of the triangle with an appropriate message
All I really need is the equation for calculating the hypotenuse
You can't just google that?
Also how did you make it outta high school without knowing how to calculate the hypotenuse?
nvm got it

Yeah, your own hand-rolled function is way better for readability than using the fucking standard library.
++, --, if() and goto is Turing complete, so using anything else means you're not a real programmer.

Nice strawman kid.

The whole point of programming is to solve the problem as succinctly as possible.
Reimplementing the standard library just to make more work for yourself is not "solving the problem as succinctly as possible".

For someone who isn't gay, typing sqrt(x*x + y*y) isn't work at all. BTW interviewers dock points from people who make pointless "helper" functions.

Sure they do.
Anyhoo, your point's moot, because it's in the standard library. Thus your 'pointless "helper" functions' argument applies to "sqrt(x*x + y*y)" not "math.hyp(x,y)".
It's your code that's weird unnecessary verbiage that the reader has to waste time on. It's your code that only ever appears in your program. It's your code that's wasting space and should never have been written in the first place.
You want points docked, reimplement the standard library instead of using it.
