DistanceCalc : Calculate distance between two places from coordinates

Extensions
#1

Well…
I am here to present my first extension (ever) to this community.
As you have read in title DistanceCalc calculates distance (sometimes accurate) between two places from coordinates (latitudes and longitudes).

Blocks
Just a single block…

12-19_17_29
12-19_17_29566×512 9.38 KB

Usage
It has just one function/block as you can see in above screenshot.
12-19_18_00

It accepts four coordinates in format like lat1,lng1,lat2, and lng2 and all of them should be integers(double).It returns distance in KiloMetres.
But you can convert distance(Km) in different units by using some math blocks.
An example can be this:

12-19_22_42
12-19_22_42761×283 11 KB

Aix or Extension download link
As some users are experiencing a mysterious ‘bug’ in community so here are two download links.

Download Link1: distancecalc.aix (5.9 KB)
Download Link2: distancecalc.aix - Google Drive

Aia
Learn to use this ‘basic’ extension from this Aia:
Download Link1: DistanceCalc.aia (7.4 KB)
Download Link2: DistanceCalc.aia - Google Drive

Open Source
I want to make my extension open source so that beginners can learn from this.
Here is Java file:
DistanceCalc.java (2.0 KB)

Credits
I want to say thank you to @Souvik_Bera and @The_Developer_2.0 for video on YouTube and some useful posts in Community and @KodularCreator (of course) for such a great platform(as always).

Thank you…:heart:

That’s a nice one. Which formula do you use to calculate the distance?

Secret is getting spoiled…:joy:
I am thinking to make it open source.
As I have learned to make extension from some open source extensions , it is my responsibility to do same.
It will be open source soon…
