ios - Math behind common geometry shape drawing -

-

while reading core graphics guide on apple dev library web site. encountered code snippet looks following

cgcontextref context = uigraphicsgetcurrentcontext(); cgfloat size = 20; double r = 0.8 * size / 2; double theta = 2 * m_pi * (2.0 / 5.0); cgcontexttranslatectm(context, size / 2, size / 2); cgcontextmovetopoint(context, 0, r); for(int = 0; < 5; i++){     cgcontextaddlinetopoint(context, r * sin(i * theta), r * cos(i * theta)); }  cgcontextclosepath(context);

the above code draw perfect star. question is, know average geometry , trigonometry, know such geometry drawing way? experience , reading lot, or there specific topic 1 should study?

as rex says, trivial application of trig/polar coordinates. if don't understand it, need go , study trig more.

i should have @ minimum strong understanding of high school level geometry, algebra 2, , trigonometry (these days in seem cover trig in "precalculus").

if want 3d graphics should study matrix math. things should give 90% of you'll need.

calculus cool, , liked it, can i've never used in 30+ years of software development. time i've used in trying understand more arcane aspects of fractal mathematics.

php - render data via PDO::FETCH_FUNC vs loop -

-
i've been using 2 methods render data. the first one: function name($id,$name){ return '<div id="'.$id.'">'.$name.'</div>'; } echo implode($pdo->query("select id,name user")->fetchall(pdo::fetch_func,'name')); the second one: $users = $pdo->query("select id,name user")->fetchall(pdo::fetch_obj); foreach($users $user){ echo name($user->id,$user->name); } i don't understand how pdo::fetch_func works. tried figure out. however, not well-documented. could please explain fetch mode? , also, 1 performs better? thank you. both methods wrong , have learn how use templates , how separate business logic presentation logic. $users = $pdo->query("select id,name user")->fetchall(pdo::fetch_obj); tpl::assign('users', $users); is code business logic part. then in template <?php foreach $users $row): ?> <div id="<?=$...
