## Using KaTeX in hugo

Using KaTeX in Hugo for math typesetting Rendering latex in hugo can be achieved using KaTeX. This gives us the ability to render equations like below efficiently: $\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=0}^n i^3$ Steps to follow We want to implement it in such a way that any pages that uses math typesetting can be earmarked with math: true in front-matter and then optionally katex will render the formulas given as below: $\displaystyle\sum\limits_{i=0}^n i^3$ with:...

## Taxi Cab Geometry and Manhattan Distance

Problem Given two points $P_1$ & $P_2$ in a grid, and you need to reach from one of the cells to the other, Allowed moves will be up, down, left and right. What is the minimum steps required to reach the destination? TaxiCab Geometry and Manhattan Distance Going by euclidean geometry in a 2D surface, distance between any given two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is: $d = \sqrt{(y_2^{2}-y_1^{2})-(x_2^2-x_1^2)}$ This is the straight line distance drawn as a diagonal between the two points....
