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)

Arguments

i	Integer index representing the position.
warehouse_height	Integer representing the height of the warehouse (number of levels or rows).

Details

The function calculates the x and y coordinates of the position within the warehouse and returns the sum of x and y as the distance.

Value

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