- 2*n*pi/N will give you values of the window evaluated from 0 to 2pi-2pi/N,
- and 2*n*pi/(N-1) will give you values of the window evaluated from 0 to 2pi.
- These are assuming you are using n from 0 to N-1, thereby having N samples.
- I don't know why you'd want to include the last 2pi value, since it's the
- same as the zero value and would create problems in certain cases. I just
- finished my DSP exam and am glad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
