Is it possible to determine the Euclidean distance between two matrices with different lengths?
%//// Ex:
I1 = [4, 3, 5, 2, 4]
I2 = [4, 3, 6]
The length of I1 is 5, but the length of I2 is 3. So is it possible to calculate the Euclidean distance??
Thank you

A Euclidean distance is between two points in the same space. Here we have points in a five-dimensional space and a three-dimensional space. To make the idea of Euclidean distance meaningful, you'd have to do something like add two zeros to I2.

No. The Euclidean distance requires vectors with the same number of elements.
You can define a new distance, which fills elements with zeros (but then decide, if the vector is padded on the left or the right).
Perhaps you want something like FEX: distance2curve or the Levenshtein distance between words.
What is the wanted output for the shown 2 vectors?
