Might want to try that in a calculator.

Yeah, pretty sure that's another non-repeating, non-terminating decimal.. it's just very close to pi.

 

[Heisenberg]

Arccos(-1) is what I use when I code...

How would i be able to plug this into a java application, i just want to calculate it and display it, and watch it grow.

 

[txrandom]

Math.PI, convert it to a string, display a one character substring, 2 char substring, 3 char substring, etc...

you can estimate the value of pi using series

how would i be able to do that? I'm new to java

Or you can try:

Sum from n=0..infinity. ((-1) ^ N ) / (2n + 1) = pi/4. So multiply that by 4 to get Pi.

Sorry man, I know math. But nothing about java

You can hack superpi so it keeps going.. 32 Million is a lot though.. so is like the 25 min it takes me to do it.

Nice~ detail information about Pi.

 

[txrandom]

I can write a small program to do it if you are interested. It uses Leibnez Series.

Follow nose, open cupboard...find pie...eat and enjoy.

Nah, thanks for the offer. i like the feeling when i run my applications. Could you help me sudo code it?

i found empty plates, and pots and other stuff ....

mmmmmm pie

Or, as someone mentioned above, ARCCOS(-1).

Or, ((2,199,115) / (700,000)).

 

[BrianH1]

you dont need a formula. its 3.14 and thats the end of it.

 

[Adn4n]

I vaguely remember this from CS class, but wasn't it found through Fibonacci series.

 

[Al Neri]

Hit the Pi key on a calculator.
