Until now, we have been looking at points on a 2D plane. We know how to calculate the distance between them and how to find the centroid of a point cloud. With this tool set at hand we can already code a simple classifier. We could e.g. detect whether any given point (P_new) is closer to the point cloud which we call class_0 or class_1. We can find out by calculating the distances of P_new to the centroids of all known classes as shown in the picture below.

Let's call these point cloud classes from now on. With this tool set at hand we can already code a simple classifier.
