+\section{Programming Approach}
+\subsection{Line Class}
+To aid in the derivation of the solution, the first step was to create a Line class.
+This class has members of slope, y-intercept, an ID, the x-value at which visibility starts,
+and the x-value at which visibility ends. The ID is associated with the order from the CSV file,
+and the visibility values are both initialized to 0.
+
+Functions included with this class are getters and setters for various members, and
+operator overloads for == and $<$ to aid in the sorting of Lines based on slope when using sets.
+Also included is a function to find the x-value of the intersection between two lines.
+
+\subsection{HiddenLines Class}
+A separate class was created for handling the problem space. The HiddenLines class contains
+few members of its own, and is primarily function-based. The single member that this class 
+has is a vector of all lines for the given problem.
+
+This class contains four functions: a function to construct the problem, a function to get
+the vector of lines, a function to generate the solution, and a function to print the solution.
+\subsubsection{Constructing the Problem}
+For modularity, this problem uses a CSV file for constructing the problem. Any and all lines can
+be stored in a CSV file in the data folder. This CSV file is of format (slope,y-intercept). 
+This file is read and parsed, then inserted into a set to order the lines by slope. After
+all lines are imported, the set is then copied to a vector for ease of use for other functions.
+Basic error checking is performed only in the sense of ensuring that there are the same number
+of slopes and y-intercept entries.
+\subsubsection{Generating the Solution}
+This problem uses a divide-and-conquer approach. The base cases are for line vectors of size 1 or 2.
+When a line vector is of size 1, it is returned with no further computation. When a line vector is
+of size 2, the two lines have their slopes compared and their intersection point found. The line
+with the smallest slope is visible up until the intersection point, and the line with the greater
+slope is visible starting at the intersection point. The lines have their underlying visibility 
+range members adjusted, and they are returned to be merged with the other divided half.
+
+The merge process walks through each halved list and compares lines between the halves.
+The lines between the vectors have their slopes and intersection points compared, similar to the 
+aforementioned process, but a separate function for removing the invisible lines is also called
+after the halves are merged. The removal process returns a new vector container that only
+holds the visible lines, after further comparisons of lines and intersection points.
+
+\subsubsection{Printing the solution} \label{sec:print}
+The solution is printed by walking through the final container and printing each line's
+ID, their visibility start point, and their visibility end point. If the start or end point
+is the maximum or minimum value of a double, then it is converted to a string of positive 
+or negative infinity, respectively. In addition, GNUPlot prints the original problem space,
+and the final visible lines. As a note, extra work is needed to convert the final solution
+to a piecewise plot. At the current moment, all lines that are visible are printed across
+the entire domain, rather than their restricted domain.

+Figure \ref{fig:term} shows the output of the terminal after the program completes.
+This solution was manually verified with Desmos by plotting each line and comparing 
+their intersections. Figure \ref{fig:orig} displays the plotting of the original problem
+with GNUPlot. Figure \ref{fig:sol} displays the plotting of the only visible lines, though
+as mentioned in Section \ref{sec:print}, further work needs to be conducted to plot the 
+piecewise functions correctly.
