Compute the distance from the point (Px, Py) to the line segment AB.

Parameters

Px

An int which specifies the x coordinate of the point (Px,Py).

Py

An int which specifies the y coordinate of the point (Px,Py).

devA

An int[] which specifies the point that defines the head of the line segment.

devB

An int[] which specifies the point that defines the tail of the line segment.

Return Value

A double which contains the distance from the point (Px,Py) to the line segment AB.

Remarks

If the closest point from P to the line AB is not between A and B then the distance to the closer of A and B is returned.
