通用欧几里得距离计算实现

要实现无需判断坐标数量的通用欧几里得距离计算，核心思路是把点的坐标以数组形式存储，通过遍历所有维度的坐标差完成平方累加，最后取平方根。这样不管是2维、3维还是更高维度，都能统一处理，契合类似numpy的向量运算逻辑。

基础通用实现

public static double getDistance(double[] point, double[] refPoint) {
    if (point.length != refPoint.length) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("两点的坐标维度必须一致");
    }
    
    double sumOfSquares = 0.0;
    for (int i = 0; i < point.length; i++) {
        double diff = point[i] - refPoint[i];
        sumOfSquares += diff * diff; // 直接平方比Math.pow更高效
    }
    return Math.sqrt(sumOfSquares);
}

更简洁的Java 8+流实现

如果想用更紧凑的写法，可结合Java流处理：

public static double getDistance(double[] point, double[] refPoint) {
    if (point.length != refPoint.length) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("两点的坐标维度必须一致");
    }
    
    return Math.sqrt(IntStream.range(0, point.length)
            .mapToDouble(i -> {
                double diff = point[i] - refPoint[i];
                return diff * diff;
            })
            .sum());
}

适配自定义多维Point类

如果项目中有自定义的多维Point类（比如PointND），可以给它添加坐标数组的获取方法，再复用上面的通用函数：

class PointND {
    private final double[] coordinates;
    
    public PointND(double... coordinates) {
        this.coordinates = coordinates;
    }
    
    public double[] getCoordinates() {
        return coordinates;
    }
}

// 调用示例
public static double getDistance(PointND p, PointND ref) {
    return getDistance(p.getCoordinates(), ref.getCoordinates());
}
