how would I convert the sqrt(x2 − x1)^2 (y2 − y1)^2 to proper java code

Question

How would I convert the equation for the distance between two points:

sqrt((x2 − x1)^2 + (y2 − y1)^2)

into proper Java code?

@dasblinkenlight: The `sqrt` is probably supposed to surround both of the terms. — Blender, Feb 27 '13 at 22:13
