I am working on a project to create a program containing a main() that uses a recursive function to create a Koch curve. We output cout statements and do output redirection at time of execution to a .ps file and view it there to see the results, how do I calculate the points?

Your program should take the initial line segment endpoints and the desired final level as command line arguments. So, if your executable is named "koch" (on Linux/MacOS) or "koch.exe" (on Windows), you would run it as: koch x1 y1 x2 y2 level The first four arguments are the starting line segment endpoints (1,n) and (,n) in page coordinates; the last is the curve level (2 0). Your program should send to cout a Postscript program (which is plain text) to draw the requested curve. If you save this to a file with an extension of pE (using output redirection, for on the command line), you can view the result on MacOS and Linux by double- example with clicking on the .pz file (for Windows, you may need to download Ghostscript (https://www.ghostscript.com/)_to preview Postscript files). You can also preview Postscript files using Google Drive, by saving the file to Drive and then just double-clicking there. 2/13/2022, 1:17 PM Ilround

 if levels == 0:
  forward(lengthSide)
  return
 lengthSide /= 3.0
 snowflake(lengthSide, levels-1)
 left(60)
 snowflake(lengthSide, levels-1)
 right(120)
 snowflake(lengthSide, levels-1)
 left(60)
 snowflake(lengthSide, levels-1)

if __name__ == "__main__":
