> {{Math.hypot}} computes the value {{sqrt(x^2+y^2)}} to within 1 ULP. The function uses the [e_hypot.c|https://www.netlib.org/fdlibm/e_hypot.c] implementation from the Freely Distributable Math Library (fdlibm).
> Pre-java 9 this function used JNI to call an external implementation. The performance was slow. Java 9 ported the function to native java (see [JDK-7130085 : Port fdlibm hypot to Java|https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7130085]).
> This function is used to define the absolute value of a complex number. It is also used in sqrt() and log(). This ticket is to investigate the performance and accuracy of \{{Math.hypot}} against alternatives for use in Complex.
