      • Point

        public Point​(double xCoord,
             double yCoord)
        Given two doubles, it creates a Point.
        Parameters:

        public double getX()
        Returns the x-coordinate of this point.
        Returns:
        The x-coordinate of this point

      • setX

        public void setX​(double newX)
        Sets the x-coordinate of this point.
        Parameters:
        newX - The new x-coordinate of this point

      • getY

        public double getY()
        Returns the y-coordinate of this point.
        Returns:
        The y-coordinate of this point

        Sets the y-coordinate of this point.
        Parameters:
        newY - The new y-coordinate of this point

      • findDistance

        public double findDistance​(Point other)
        Finds and returns the distance between this (the invoking) point and the input one.
        Parameters:
        other - The other point
        Returns:
        The distance between this point and the inputed one

      • areEquidistant

        public boolean areEquidistant​(Point p2,
                              Point p3)
        Checkes whether this point is at equal distance from the two inputted points.
        Returns true if the two points are practically equidistant, i.e. their distance is less than TOLERANCE, false otherwise.
        Parameters:
        p2 - The second point
        p3 - the third point
        Returns:
