Instead of alternating operations, I did it by putting both operations in one loop and adding 2 inbetween like so:

	double factor = 0;
	int count = 0;
 
	for(int i = 1;i<=3000000;i+=2) {
		count+=2;
		double addend = (1.0/i);
		i+=2;
		addend-=(1.0/i);
		factor+=addend;
		System.out.println(count + ": 4*"+factor+" = " + 4*factor);
 
	}

That will print ALOT of them, so don't use that loop probably, change the delimiter part, or put an if(count>=30000) break; since i is not a count of factors added

pi=4*(1-1/3+1/5-1/7+1/9-1/11+1/13+...)
please help me in getting this code implemented.. i dont have any clue on how to start this..
i know that in the loop you need to add 2 in the denominator but i have no idea on how to implement alternating operations
