Euclidean vs Manhattan vs Chebyshev Distance

Euclidean distance, Manhattan distance and Chebyshev distance are all distance metrics which compute a number based on two data points. All the three metrics are useful in various use cases and differ in some important aspects such as computation and real life usage.

Chebyshev distance is a distance metric which is the maximum absolute distance in one dimension of two N dimensional points. It has real world applications in Chess, Warehouse logistics and many other fields. It is known as Tchebychev distance, maximum metric, chessboard distance and L∞ metric.
