Consider a clock with only one hand. We consider angle = 0 degree when hand is at 12. Now this hand can freely move in clockwise direction or anticlockwise direction. Given starting angle and ending angle of this clock hand I need to figure out direction of rotation.
I have centre of circle and I can create direction vectors using that. For example, if start angle is 0 and end angle is 90 degree then by using cross product of initial vector and final vector I can determine direction, But, problem with this solution is that it does not work for angles >180 degrees. Also it doesn't handle cases where hand was initially at 11 and then on 1 or vice versa.
Is there a reliable way of finding out direction of rotation with given information?
