/**
 * @file k_means_clustering.c
 * @brief K Means Clustering Algorithm implemented
 * @details
 * This file has K Means algorithm implemmented
 * It prints test output in eps format
 *
 * Note:
 * Though the code for clustering works for all the
 * 2D data points and can be extended for any size vector
 * by making the required changes, but note that
 * the output method i.e. printEPS is only good for
 * polar data points i.e. in a circle and both test
 * use the same.
