Muchinyorwa chinopiwa mienzaniso yakawanda yemetric inopiwa. Bvisa muenzaniso wechitatu wemetric.
Context:Mumasvomhu, nzvimbo yemetric inzvimbo yakaiswa pamwe chete nepfungwa yekureba pakati pezvinhu zvayo, zvinowanzodaidzwa kuti mapoinzi. Daro racho rinoyerwa nebasa rinonzi metric kana kuti basa rerwendo. Nzvimbo dzeMetric ndidzo dzinonyanya kushandiswa pakudzidza pfungwa dzakawanda dzemasvomhu uye geometry.  Muenzaniso unozivikanwa zvikuru we metric space inzvimbo ine mativi matatu yeEuclidean ine pfungwa yayo yenguva dzose yedaro. Mimwe mienzaniso inonyatsozivikanwa inonzi sphere ine angular distance uye hyperbolic plane. Metric inogona kuenderana ne metaphorical, kwete chaiyo, pfungwa yekure: semuenzaniso, seti yemavara zana e Unicode tambo inogona kuve yakashongedzerwa neHamming kure, iyo inoyera huwandu hwevatambi vanofanirwa kuchinjwa kuti vabve pane imwe tambo kuenda kune imwe.  Sezvo dzichikosha zvikuru, nzvimbo dzomumetric chishandiso chinoshandiswa mumapazi akawanda akasiyana-siyana emathematics. Mhando zhinji dzezvinhu zvemasvomhu dzine pfungwa yomuzvarirwo yedaro uye naizvozvo dzinobvuma chimiro chenzvimbo yemetric, kubatanidza maRiemannian manifolds, nzvimbo dzakarongwa dzevector, uye magirafu. Muchiverengero chechiverengero chechiverengero, nhamba dzep-adic dzinomuka sezvinhu zvokupedzwa kwechimiro chemetric pane nhamba dzakanaka. Nzvimbo dzomumetric dzinodzidzwawo dziri dzoga mu metric geometry uye kuongorora nzvimbo dzomumetric.  Mazhinji emashoko makuru ekuongororwa kwemasvomhu, kusanganisira mabhora, kukwana, pamwe chete neyakaenzana, Lipschitz, uye Hölder kuenderera mberi, zvinogona kutsanangurwa mukumisikidzwa kwenzvimbo dzemametric. Mamwe mashoko, akadai sokuenderera mberi, kuoma, uye kuzarura uye kuvhara mazhinji, anogona kurondedzerwa nokuda kwenzvimbo dze metric, asiwo mumamiriro ezvinhu akawandisa e topological spaces.
Metric yechitatu kana kuti distance function yakasangana mumuenzaniso uyu inonzi Hamming distance. Daro raHamming rinoyera nhamba yeshanduko dzetsamba dzinodikanwa kushandura tambo yakapiwa kuva imwe.
