Arguments

u first vector of numbers
v second vector of numbers

Details

Function simply computes the L infinity distance between two vectors and is implemented as

max(abs(u-v))

#p <- c(1,2,3,4,5)
#q <- c(1,2,3,4,5)
#r <- c(2,3,4,5,6)
#linfnorm(p,q)
# [1] 0
#linfnorm(q,r)
# [1] 1
#linfnorm(r,p)
# [1] 1
