這可能與在實際代碼中解釋光線跟蹤算法所獲得的結果一樣詳細。它可能未進行優化，但必須始終在系統完全掌握之后才能進行優化。

(Note)
Both of the conditions indicate that a point is located within the edges of the Y-th coordinate
of the (i)-th and the (i+1)- th vertices of the polygon. If neither of the above
conditions is satisfied, then it is assured that a semi-infinite horizontal line draw
to the right from the testpoint will NOT cross the line that connects vertices i and i+1
of the polygon

關于優化的一句話：最短的（和/或最有趣的）代碼實現最快是不正確的。與在每次需要訪問數組時相比，從數組中讀取和存儲一個元素并在代碼塊的執行過程中（可能）多次使用該元素的過程要快得多。如果陣列非常大，這一點尤其重要。我認為，通過將數組的每個項存儲在一個命名良好的變量中，也可以更容易地評估其目的，從而形成更具可讀性的代碼。只是我的兩分錢
