Distance is a numerical measurement of how far apart objects are. In physics or everyday usage, distance may refer to a physical lengthor an estimation based on other criteria (e.g. "two counties over"). In most cases, "distance from A to B" is
interchangeable with "distance from B to A". In mathematics, a distance function or metric is a generalization of the concept of physical distance. A metric is a function that behaves according to a specific set of rules, and is a way of describing what it means for elements of some space to be "close to" or "far away from" each other.
