Have you never studied Pythagoras' theorem? He states that the Quare of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two side. Extending this into 3D space, the distance is equal to the sum of the squares of the other three sides. The sides are just the difference.
So:


I believe to use abs and sqrt you must include math.h

You are squaring the number anyway so you do not need to waste processing power on finding the absolute value of the difference between the two points. I would also recommend you not square the distance. This saves some processing power and really doesn't affect anything than you having to square the number you want to check against the distance.
