Intersection points

function intersectionpoints( path, path) { returns pair[] }

Example:

size(8cm,0);
import math;
import graph;
real r,s;
pair a,b, common;
path circ1, circ2;
r=1; s=1;
a=(0,0);
b=(1,0);
circ1=circle(a,r);
circ2=circle(b,s);
draw(circ1,linewidth(1bp));
draw(circ2,1bp+green);
pair [] x=intersectionpoints(circ1, circ2);
dot(x[0],3bp+blue);
dot(x[1],3bp+blue);
draw(x[0] -- x[1],1bp+red);
