I wrote a function for [https://git.io/vSUpN Union of two Polygons] for Octave by using Clipper Library. It was written in C++. | |||

As Octave is quite helpful for beginner ML enthusiasts like me, and due to its simple and easy syntax, I guess I would love to be in touch with Octave as a user and as a contributor. | |||

Not being bookish, but my personal experience is that you cannot improve upon yourself until you take any kind of criticism positively and extract the best out of it for yourself. | |||

Yes, as part of my Software Engineering Course, I learnt about the importance of pre-documentation like Software Requirement Specification documents and Design Documents before starting to code for any software. | |||

I may opt that approach for some small sub-task of the [project but I won't prefer to do a project if I had to just 'write and test' for the whole project. As I said, I like the approach that I first figure out the whole in-and-out of the requirement of the project and then start coding. | |||

I have chosen the project: [http://wiki.octave.org/Summer_of_Code_Project_Ideas#Mapping_or_Geometry_package:_Implement_boolean_operations_on_polygons Mapping or Geometry package: Implement boolean operations on polygons]. I read about the Clipper Library which is to be used for this project. | |||

May 15 - May 31 : Go through the previous implementations in depth and read the documentations of the libraries thoroughly. | |||
June 1 - July 15 : Implement all the required functionalities of Boolean operations on Polygons and incorporate it into GNU Octave. | |||
July 18 - August 5 : Final debugging and documentation. | |||
