Write winding_number(points, p) for a closed polygon given by the list points of complex vertices (the last vertex joins back to the first) and a complex point p not on it. Add up the change in the argument of z−pz - p along each edge — the angle cmath.phase((b - p) / (a - p)) from vertex a to vertex b, which lies in (−π,π](-\pi, \pi] — and divide the total by 2π2\pi. Return the nearest integer. (This is 12πi∮dzz−p\frac{1}{2\pi i}\oint \frac{dz}{z - p}, computed exactly edge by edge.)

A student argues: "ddzlog⁡z=1z\frac{d}{dz}\log z = \frac1z, so log⁡z\log z is a primitive of 1z\frac1z on C∖{0}\C \setminus \{0\}, and therefore ∮∣z∣=1dzz=log⁡(1)−log⁡(1)=0\oint_{|z|=1} \frac{dz}{z} = \log(1) - \log(1) = 0." But the integral is 2πi2\pi i. What is wrong?
