Arc function in C

In the C programming language, there is an option to create an arc of a circle of a given radius with a given center coordinates and degree of the arc.

The arc() function is used to create an arc. This arc function is included in graphics.h library in C which contains methods that can draw figures on the output screen.

Syntax

void arc(int x, int y, int startangle, int endangle, int radius);

Now, let's get deep into the function and understand each parameter passed and output returned by the function.

Parameters

x − type = int, function: defines the x coordinate of the center of the arc.

y − type = int, function: defines the y coordinate of the center of the arc.

start angle − type = int, function: defines the starting angle of arc.

entangle − type = int, function: defines the ending angle of arc.

Radius − type = int, function: defines the radius of the arc.

Example

#include <graphics.h>
int main(){
   int gd = DETECT, gm;
   int x = 250;
   int y = 250;
   int start_angle = 155;
   int end_angle = 300;
   int radius = 100;
   initgraph(&gd, &gm, "");
   arc(x, y, start_angle, end_angle, radius);
   getch();
   closegraph();
   return 0;
