==Pseudocode== [[File:Jarvis march convex hull algorithm diagram.svg|thumb|280px|right|Jarvis's march computing the convex hull.]] '''algorithm''' jarvis(S) '''is''' // ''S'' is the set of points // ''P'' will be the set of points which form the convex hull. Final set size is i. pointOnHull := leftmost point in S // which is guaranteed to be part of the CH(S) i := 0 '''repeat''' P[i] := pointOnHull endpoint := S[0] // initial endpoint for a candidate edge on the hull '''for''' j from 0 to |S| '''do''' // endpoint == pointOnHull is a rare case and can happen only when j == 1 and a better endpoint has not yet been set for the loop '''if''' (endpoint == pointOnHull) or (S[j] is on left of line from P[i] to endpoint) '''then''' endpoint := S[j] // found greater left turn, update endpoint i := i + 1 pointOnHull := endpoint '''until''' endpoint == P[0] // wrapped around to first hull point
