65. Are we getting close? Use dist() to find out the distance
The dist() function can be used to find out the distance between to points. In our example we test how far is a moving circle from the mouse pointer by writing: float d = dist(x, y, mouseX, mouseY);
Now that we know the distance, we can do different things when we are getting close to our destination.

To indicate that a word in your comment is code, use the `backtick`. Example
Do `float` and `int` smell similar?
To highlight code blocks, surround it with ``` code-fences ``` like this:``` void setup() { size(600, 600); } ```
