iopoint_distance: Calculate IO Point Distance

Description

This function calculates the distance to the I/O point based on the provided position in the warehouse. The taxicab geometry is used to calculate the distance.

Usage

iopoint_distance(i, warehouse_height)

Value

A numeric value representing the calculated distance to the I/O point.

Arguments

i

Integer index representing the position.

warehouse_height

Integer representing the height of the warehouse (number of levels or rows).
