For the Programming Assignment 1, are we supposed to validate against
'disjoint' edge errors or, hopefully, ignore/pretend they never occur?
The Golden Rule of Input is "Assume nothing and validate everything." I
expect your programs to obey the Golden Rule of Input.
If we need to, I'm a bit confused about the association between intervals and
coordinates for an edge. Are intervals for an edge to be taken as consecutive
pairs of coordinates on an edge?
Yes.
Could you also confirm that, given an original edge "10 2 -3 1", only two
possible edge orientations result, "10 2 -3 1" representing normal and
rotated reverse orientations and "1 -3 2 10" representing rotated and
reversed orientations.
Yes. However, remember that you are asking about an edge, not a shred. A
shred has four possible orientations.
