The **`hypot()` method** is a static method of the `java.lang.Math` library. It takes two numbers and returns the square root of $x^{2}$ + $y^{2}$ without any intermediate underflow or overflow. 

There are special cases regarding this function:
* The result will be `positiveinfinity` if any of the parameters are infinite.

* The result will be `NaN` if any of the parameters are NaN and none of them are infinite.
# 
## Syntax
---
```java
public static double hypot(double x, double y)
```
---

## Parameters
This method will take two numbers of primitive data type `double`:
* `x` contains the first argument.
* `y` contains the second argument.

## Return value
This function will return the answer of √($x^{2}$ + $y^{2}$) without any overflow or underflow of `double` type.

## Example
This code illustrates how to use the `hypot()` method to compute sqrt ($x^{2}$ + $y^{2}$). 
* We initialized `num1= 32176.2` and `num2= -298.77`, then called the function to perform the calculations. 
* It returns `32177.5870`.

      double num1 = 32176.2;
      double num2 = -298.77;
      //calling the hypot method

How to use Math.hypot() in Java?

Math.hypot() computes the square root of the sum of squares of two numbers, avoiding overflow/underflow issues. Returns positive infinity for infinite arguments, NaN if parameters are NaN and finite.
