Mathjs: distance and intersect functions fail if MathJS configured to use big numbers

[ovk]

This similar to #991 but has to do with arrays.
Please see this self-explanatory example for distance function: https://jsfiddle.net/c216nods/1/
The same applies for intersect function. Unless every numeric literal is casted to number they always fail.

Thanks for reporting. The distance function currently doesn't support BigNumbers. It shouldn't be too hard to extend the function.

[josdejong]

Anyone interested in extending the distance function with support for BigNumbers and Fractions?

@josdejong what about intersect function? It looks very similar with _2d/_3d helpers checking for type to be number.

[josdejong]

You're right, same for intersect.

Ok I'll try to fix both, you can assign the issue to me.

This issue was still open but is already resolved.
