mag
Examples 
x1 = 20
x2 = 80
y1 = 30
y2 = 70

line(0, 0, x1, y1)
print(mag(x1, y1))  # Prints '36.05551'
line(0, 0, x2, y1)
print(mag(x2, y1))  # Prints '85.44004'
line(0, 0, x1, y2)
print(mag(x1, y2))  # Prints '72.8011'
line(0, 0, x2, y2)
print(mag(x2, y2))  # Prints '106.30146'
Description Calculates the magnitude (or length) of a vector. A vector is a direction in space commonly used in computer graphics and linear algebra. Because it has no "start" position, the magnitude of a vector can be thought of as the distance from the coordinate 0,0 to its x,y value. Therefore, mag() is a shortcut for writing dist(0, 0, x, y).
Syntax
mag(x, y)
Parameters
xint: x component of a vector
yint: y component of a vector
