A brief course to understand why and how simple mathematics is a very powerful tool on code running on computers. Smart code was found during several decades by countless of people. Today we use them as a fundation to build other one.
OS: Windows Tools needed: MSVC Compiler from visual studio community (any version)
listing_1 has the squeleton for the "student" to implement the two algorithms:
- by rounding (naive way)
- Beresenham one octant only (-1 < m < 1)
listin_2 has possible solutions of both algorithms. Beresenham has on (-1 < m < 1), because the algorithm can be very hairy for no extra revelation. One octant is clean and easier to understand.
listin_3 test both algorithms in order to understand the efficiency of Beresenham over the naive one
listing_4 (to be made) Beresenham all octants ?
on command line -> go inside the root folder then execute build.
You can build individually by executing build_single
Each build will create two executanle -> listing_X_rm.exe and listing_X_dm.exe.
_rm is for release (optimized)
dm is for debug (with .pdb files to be used inside a debugger)
