# scipy.spatial.distance.euclidean

`scipy.spatial.distance.``euclidean`(u, v)

  Computes the Euclidean distance between two 1-D arrays.

  The Euclidean distance between 1-D arrays u and v, is defined as

  \[{||u-v||}_2\]

  Parameters: | u : (N,) array_like Input array. v : (N,) array_like Input array.
  Returns: | euclidean : double The Euclidean distance between vectors u and v.
