The DistanceBetweenSquared method calculates the squared distance between two Vector2 points. This method is useful when you need to compare distances without the computational cost of a square root operation, which is required for calculating the actual distance.
Use this method when you need to determine the relative distance between two points in 2D space, and the exact distance is not necessary. This can be particularly useful in performance-critical code where you need to compare distances frequently.
// Example usage of Vector2.DistanceBetweenSquared Vector2 pointA = new Vector2(1.0f, 2.0f); Vector2 pointB = new Vector2(4.0f, 6.0f); float squaredDistance = Vector2.DistanceBetweenSquared(pointA, pointB); // squaredDistance will be 25.0f, which is the squared distance between pointA and pointB.
