Re: Teach David
Thanks bobbym and Agnishom for your help. It's already 2:30am here. I'll see you all later. Getting sleepy and I need to go to the dentist tomorrow. Night.

The function isn't working.
It says Distance[{0, 3}, {4, 0}]=4

That is too late, please go to sleep, I will see you tomorrow.

Re: Teach David
Yes, it is incorrect.
Mathematica is math based, not programming based. The 0th element is the head of the expression, not a number.

Can we learn tomorrow? I have a serious case of teeth ache due to braces. And I have a good 30 minutes of gum bleeding this morning.

I wanted to learn. But it starts to hurt again. And I worry that my gums would start to bleed uncontrollably again.
