#RustLang #Rust

An error message produced by Rust's clippy tool. The lint is called "imprecise floating point operations", and it has detected a line in some Rust code that computes a hypotenuse and recommends a more accurate way. The error message follows verbatim: error: hypotenuse can be computed more accurately --> src/main.rs:835:5 | 835 | (width * width + height * height).sqrt() / diag | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ help: consider using: `width.hypot(height)` | = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#imprecise_flops
