I’m trying to translate a function from C (taken from 
http://www.ecse.rpi.edu/Homepages/wrf/Research/Short_Notes/pnpoly.html) and 
although I think I got it correctly it’s not behaving 100% accurately so I’m 
not sure if it was my translation or not. The “for” statement is pretty 
confusing to my eyes despite the author of the function giving a description of 
his code.

Does anyone spot any errors with my translation?

int pnpoly(int nvert, float *vertx, float *verty, float testx, float testy)
{
  int i, j, c = 0;
  for (i = 0, j = nvert-1; i < nvert; j = i++) {
    if ( ((verty[i]>testy) != (verty[j]>testy)) &&
     (testx < (vertx[j]-vertx[i]) * (testy-verty[i]) / (verty[j]-verty[i]) + 
vertx[i]) )
       c = !c;
  }
  return c;
}


function TPolygonHelper.ContainsPoint (point: TPoint): boolean;
var
        i, j, c: integer;
begin
        i := 0;
        j := high(self);
        c := 0;
        for i := 0 to high(self) do
                begin
                        j := i + 1;
                        if ((self[i].y > point.y) <> (self[j].y > point.y)) 
                                        and (point.x < (self[j].x - self[i].x) 
* (point.y - self[i].y) / (self[j].y - self[i].y) + self[i].x) then
                                c := not c;
                end;
        result := c <> 0;
end;
