in such a way as to avoid undue underflow and overflow.

<p>
The return type of this function is computed using the <a class="link" href="../result_type.html" title="Calculation of the Type of the Result"><span class="emphasis"><em>result
type calculation rules</em></span></a> when T1 and T2 are of different
types.
</p>
<p>
The final <a class="link" href="../../policy.html" title="Chapter&#160;20.&#160;Policies: Controlling Precision, Error Handling etc">Policy</a> argument is optional and can
be used to control the behaviour of the function: how it handles errors,
what level of precision to use etc. Refer to the <a class="link" href="../../policy.html" title="Chapter&#160;20.&#160;Policies: Controlling Precision, Error Handling etc">policy
documentation for more details</a>.

<p>
When calculating
</p>
<div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><p>
<span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/hypot.svg"></span>
</p></blockquote></div>
<p>
it's quite easy for the intermediate terms to either overflow or underflow,
even though the result is in fact perfectly representable.

<span class="phrase"><a name="math_toolkit.powers.hypot.implementation"></a></span><a class="link" href="hypot.html#math_toolkit.powers.hypot.implementation">Implementation</a>
</h5>
<p>
The function is even and symmetric in <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>y</em></span>,
so first take assume <span class="emphasis"><em>x,y &gt; 0</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>x &gt;
y</em></span> (we can permute the arguments if this is not the case).
</p>
<p>
Then if <span class="emphasis"><em>x * &#949; &gt;= y</em></span> we can simply return <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>.
</p>
<p>
Otherwise the result is given by:
