Closest points correction

#################################################################
#   The goal of this exercize is to write an algorithm that ask #
#   the user to enter how many points he wants to compare. Then,#
#   he must enter their coordinates. The algorithm determines   #
#   what are the two closest points.                            #
#   Here is a possible correction.                              #
