Java Program to Check Whether a Given Point is in a Given Polygon

This is a Java Program to check whether a point lies inside, outside or on the Polygon. Following is a simple idea to check whether a point is inside or outside.
1) Draw a horizontal line to the right of each point and extend it to infinity
2) Count the number of times the line intersects with polygon edges.
3) A point is inside the polygon if either count of intersections is odd or point lies on an edge of polygon. If none of the conditions is true, then point lies outside.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Check Whether a Given Point is in a Given Polygon. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.
