Why is the Manhattan distance so called?
mathematical functions
Answers:
Taxicab geometry, considered by Hermann Minkowski in the 19th century, is a form of geometry in which the usual metric of Euclidean geometry is replaced by a new metric in which the distance between two points is the sum of the (absolute) differences of their coordinates.
More formally, we can define the Manhattan distance, also known as the L1-distance, between two points in an Euclidean space with fixed Cartesian coordinate system as the sum of the lengths of the projections of the line segment between the points onto the coordinate axes.
P.s. I f you look at the graph (see link) it looks like a map of new york, I presume this is why it is known as the Manhattan Distance.
Manhattan distance is also known as city block distance or taxi-cab distance. It is named so because it is the shortest distance a car would drive in a city laid out in square blocks, like Manhattan.
