# Function distance

- distance(
  descriptor1: Descriptor ,
  descriptor2: Descriptor ,
  options?: MatchOptions ,
  ): number

  Calculates distance between two descriptors

  #### Parameters

  - descriptor1: Descriptor
  - descriptor2: Descriptor
  - options: MatchOptions = ...

    calculation options

    - order - algorithm to use Euclidean distance if `order` is 2 (default), Minkowski distance algorithm of nth order if `order` is higher than 2
    - multiplier - by how much to enhance difference analysis in range of 1..100 default is 20 which normalizes results to similarity above 0.5 can be considered a match

  #### Returns number
