Manhattan Distance

Manhattan distance is the distance between two points in a grid (like the grid-like street geography of the New York borough of Manhattan) calculated by only taking a vertical and/or horizontal path.

Write a function int manhattanDistance(Point, Point) that returns the Manhattan Distance between the two points.

Rules

• The class Point is immutable (its state cannot be changed after instantiation)
• The class Point has no Getters
• The class Point has no public properties (i.e. the internal state cannot be read from outside the class).

Starting Points
