Check if a point is in a cylinder - geometry and code

Determining if a point is inside a cylinder can be mathematically complex; however, I present a simplified approach that addresses common pitfalls.

Using the right mathematical model is crucial for reliability in geometric computations, especially when dealing with infinite or closed shapes like cylinders.

The key to my implementation is to break down the problem into manageable components, leveraging Python's mathematical capabilities to streamline calculations.

In my solution, I highlighted how standard cylindrical equations could be simplified, ensuring a more efficient and clear method for point inclusion checks.
