/*This is a C++ Program to find the area of ploygon using slicker algorithm. The algorithm assumes the usual mathematical convention that positive y points upwards. In computer systems where positive y is downwards (most of them) the easiest thing to do is list the vertices counter-clockwise using the “positive y down” coordinates. The two effects then cancel out to produce a positive area.*/
