Distance vs. Displacement

Distance is the amount of space in between two points or things.
an example of how I used "distance" today is in drill practice, using "forward march", is a form of distance I used until I did the command "rear march" which brought me towards the starting point.

Displacement,  is the direction in which the object or person went, that landed it in its location.
an example of how i used displacement today was getting to the other  class, i start from my
(ending) class and go certain directions to end to my (starting) class.
