Answer:

Line line = new Line( x0, y0, x4, y4 );  // line segment between (x0, y0) and (x4, y4)

The above figure is a Koch snowflake. It is a triangle of three sides. Each side is drawn with four short lines that form a line with a triangular bump in the middle.

Each of the short lines is drawn with shorter lines that form a line with a triangular bump in the middle.

Each of the shorter lines is drawn with yet shorter lines that form a line with a triangular bump in the middle.

And so on, recursively.


QUESTION 9:

Two Points

To form a line with a triangular bump in the middle the line must be divided into three short lines. Calculate the values of endpoints using the values in (x0, y0) and (x4, y4):

Remember that Y values increase going down.
