javascript - Angle between 3 points math explain -


i have converted c++ code javascript calculates angle between 3 points. though working not understand math behind it.

    function angle(a, b, c) {          var ab = { x: b.x - a.x, y: b.y - a.y };          var cb = { x: b.x - c.x, y: b.y - c.y };            var dot = (ab.x * cb.x + ab.y * cb.y); // dot product          var cross = (ab.x * cb.y - ab.y * cb.x); // cross product            var alpha = -math.atan2(cross, dot);          if (alpha < 0) alpha += 2 * math.pi;          return alpha;      }

what use of dot , cross product here? how atan2 use cross , dot products calculate angle?

var ab = { x: b.x - a.x, y: b.y - a.y }; var cb = { x: b.x - c.x, y: b.y - c.y };

these points represent lines ab , bc. dot product of 2 lines is

dot = |ab|.|bc|.cos(theta) cross = |ab|.|bc|.sin(theta)

their division get

cross/dot = tan(theta)

so

theta = atan(cross, dot)

we know value of dot , cross 

dot = (ab.x * cb.x + ab.y * cb.y); cross = (ab.x * cb.y - ab.y * cb.x);

hence can find angle using above information

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj...

performance - Why is XCHG reg, reg a 3 micro-op instruction on modern Intel architectures? -

i'm doing micro-optimization on performance critical part of code , came across sequence of instructions (in at&t syntax): add %rax, %rbx mov %rdx, %rax mov %rbx, %rdx i thought had use case xchg allow me shave instruction , write: add %rbx, %rax xchg %rax, %rdx however, dimay found agner fog's instruction tables , xchg 3 micro-op instruction 2 cycle latency on sandy bridge, ivy bridge, broadwell, haswell , skylake. 3 whole micro-ops , 2 cycles of latency! 3 micro-ops throws off 4-1-1-1 cadence , 2 cycle latency makes worse original in best case since last 2 instructions in original might execute in parallel. now... cpu might breaking instruction micro-ops equivalent to: mov %rax, %tmp mov %rdx, %rax mov %tmp, %rdx where tmp anonymous internal register , suppose last 2 micro-ops run in parallel latency 2 cycles. given register renaming occurs on these micro-architectures, though, doesn't make sense me done way. why wouldn't register renamer ...
