I remember that problem from school, a long time ago, and you have to be careful with a naive implementation of the algorithm. Angle points should _sometimes_ count as 2 points.

Just to clarify, here is the problem with angles and edges:

Warning: crappy ASCII art follows.

          _     ___
         | \   /   |
         |  \ /    |
 (1)_ _ _|_ _v_ _ _|_ _  3 intersections
         |         |
          \        |
 (2)_ _ _ _\_ _ _ _|_ _  2 intersections
           /       |
          /        |
 (3)_ _ _|_ _ _ _ _|_ _  3 intersections
         |    /\   |
         |   /  \  |
 (4)_ _ _|__/_ _ \_|_ _  ? intersections

The solution for angle points is to count them in only if the line they belong to goes down (or up, it doesn't matter, just choose one direction), thus (1) would have 2 intersections (the angle does not count) and (3) would have 4 (the angle counts twice, once for each line).

The solution for an edge is to count it as 2 intersections, one for each end, thus (4) would have 4 intersections.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
