How do you perform the set operation of segment and ray?

To perform the set operation of a segment and a ray, you first define the endpoints of the segment and the starting point and direction of the ray. The intersection points between the segment and the ray can be calculated using equations that represent both geometrical entities. If the ray extends beyond the segment, the section of the ray that lies within the segment is the result. Geometrically, this operation can be visualized as identifying the portion of the ray that overlaps with the segment.

Can a ray be a line segment?
