I'm trying to write a function to determine the euclidean distance between x (one point) and y (a set of n points).
How should I pass y to the function? Until now, I used a matrix like that:

```
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]    0    2    1
[2,]    1    1    1

```

Which would pass the points (0,2,1) and (1,1,1) to that function.

However, when I pass x as a normal (column) vector, the two variables don't match in the function.
I either have to transpose x or y, or save a vector of vectors an other way.

My question: What is the standard way to save more than one vector in R? (my matrix y)  

Is it just my y transposed or maybe a list or dataframe?
