# scipy.spatial.distance.chebyshev

scipy.spatial.distance.chebyshev(u, v, w=None)

  Compute the Chebyshev distance.

  Computes the Chebyshev distance between two 1-D arrays u and v, which is defined as

  \[\max_i {|u_i-v_i|}.\]
  Parameters
    u(N,) array_like

      Input vector.

    v(N,) array_like

      Input vector.

    w(N,) array_like, optional

      Unused, as ‘max’ is a weightless operation. Here for API consistency.

  Returns
    chebyshev double

      The Chebyshev distance between vectors u and v.

  Examples

      >>> from scipy.spatial import distance
      >>> distance.chebyshev([1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0])
      1
      >>> distance.chebyshev([1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0])
      1
