# Explanation

First, calculate cross product.
If cross product is negative, the answer is counter-clockwise.
If positive, the answer is clockwise.
If 0, they are on a line and the answer still cannot be detemined.

Second, calculate dot product.
If dot product is negative, the answer is opposite directions.
If not, same directions.

# Code

Receive 2 position vectors and return an integer like below.

  1. 0: Counter-clockwise
  2. 1: Clockwise
  3. 2: Opposite directions
  4. 3: Same directions
