I find your excess of belief disturbing...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Are the points of the polygon in any particular order, like clockwise or counterclockwise?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Originally I was thinking of leaving that open just to confuse things.
For the sake of making this easier: counter-clockwise.

Thanks. The professor who had exactly this question in an exam simply said: " Pick one."

Errrm...
Given a vector of coordinate pairs A, B, C, ... would be the same polygon as ..., C, B, A no? What did I miss?

Sure, but what if the points are sorted by X*Y ?
|
|
|
|
|
Then each point needs an index to define the topology, I guess.

I don't think it matters whether the order is clockwise or anti-clockwise. But it would make the solution easier to craft if the points were specified in order.

It matters. Consider something which looks like two equilateral triangles, point to point: an X with vertical lines up the sides, filled in. You'd express the points as: Bottom-left; top-left; middle; bottom-right; top-right. Then express the points in a different order: bottom-right; middle; bottom-left; top left; top right - and the figure becomes a filled-in W-with-a-line-across-the-top shape.

As far as I can see, neither of the ordering examples in your post are clockwise or anticlockwise; what I meant was, if they're guaranteed to be either clockwise or anticlockwise, then it won't matter which order is selected. Apologies if I've misunderstood your examples.

I was wondering where it fit into the Star Wars timeline. It appears as if it's positioned between Episode 3 and Episode 4.

Right. They are building the first Death Star.

Just before episode 4.
It is the story of the heist to get the Death star plans that Princess Leia tried to smuggle to the rebellion.

I'm just hoping it's better than The Force Awakens ... but I'm not putting money on it.

On a side note, I finally watched Suicide Squad last night. I was sorely disappointed.

Damn. I've been trying to persuade Herself it might be good based on the trailers, but she's very resistant. IMDB 6.3 is a pretty good score these days...

It was as if we're all supposed to know the backstory, and the plot was ludicrous.
The worrying part is that they set you up at the end for a sequel. Let's all hope that doesn't happen.

Don't worry, if it turns out some piece of crap isn't worth a sequel, they call the next installment "a reboot".
I always take this as meaning that if I'm supposed to ignore events that took place in the previous incarnation, I should get a refund for it.

This is almost a certainty. For a start Han Solo is still alive (somewhere) and hasn't shot Greebo yet.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
