Line circle intersection

In plane geometry, a line (or segment) may intersect a circle at 0, 1 or 2 points.

Line circle intersection is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.
Task

Implement a method (function, procedure etc.) in your language which takes as parameters:

  • the starting point of a line;
  • the point where the line ends;
  • the center point of a circle;
  • the circle's radius; and
  • whether the line is a segment or extends to infinity beyond the above points.


The method should return the intersection points (if any) of the circle and the line.

Illustrate your method with some examples (or use the Go examples below).

Stretch Task

Include results for a circle with center at (10, 10) and radius 5 combined with a line through points (5, 0) and (5, 20) and that same circle combined with a line segment from (-5, 10) to (5, 10).
