Find the distance between $u$ and $v$ Where $u = [1,2,3]$ and $v = [-1,0,1]$



Am I calculating the norm of both vectors and substracting them together?



Thank you very much

          Try it with the example $[0,0,0]$ and $[1,0,0]$.



          The norms are $0$ and $1$ and the distance now can either be $-1$ or $1$ (problematic).



          Reversing the order of your operations leads to calculating the norm of either $[1,0,0]$ or $[-1,0,0]$ which both is $1$.

            The distance between $u$ and $v$ is
            $$d(u,v)=sqrt{(1-(-1))^2+(2-0)^2+(3-1)^2}$$
            $$d(u,v)=sqrt{(2)^2+(2)^2+(2)^2}=sqrt{12}=2sqrt{3}$$
