Coordinate Manhattan Distance

TASK
Problem
Given coordinates `(x1, y1)` and `(x2, y2)`, output `|x1-x2| + |y1-y2|`. Print only the required answer; do not print prompts, labels, or debug text.

LIMITS
Constraints
- Every token parsed with `int.Parse` is a valid 32-bit signed integer; test data avoid unintended overflow in the task's intended calculation. - Input is syntactically valid for the task except where invalid input is deliberately being tested (for example a `TryParse`/validation exercise). - Print only the required answer; do not add prompts, labels, debug text, or extra spaces/lines.

Theory for this problem
+
This is a direct arithmetic transformation. Name the input values, translate the formula exactly into C# operators, store the intermediate result when it improves readability, and print only the final value. For **Coordinate Manhattan Distance**, the concrete requirement is: Given coordinates `(x1, y1)` and `(x2, y2)`, output `|x1-x2| + |y1-y2|`. Keep input parsing, the core operation, and output formatting separate so each part can be checked independently.

using System;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
int[] p=Array.ConvertAll(Console.ReadLine().Split(),int.Parse);
int a=p[0],b=p[1];
int result=Math.Abs(a)+Math.Abs(b);
Console.WriteLine(result);
}
