Manhattan Distance is a mathematical concept used to measure the distance between two points in a grid-based system. It calculates the total number of horizontal and vertical steps needed to travel from one point to another, resembling the layout of streets in Manhattan, New York City. This distance is often represented as the sum of the absolute differences of their coordinates. For example, if you have two points, A(1, 2) and B(4, 6), the Manhattan Distance is calculated as |1-4| + |2-6|, which equals 3 + 4 = 7. This method is particularly useful in various fields, including computer science and robotics, for pathfinding and navigation.
