Calculating pi
Hi All,
having some trouble with calculating pi from the below.
Instaed of reading 3.14xxx it's giving me 3.28xxx instead. Not sure where i'm going wrong on the maths.
double pi = 4.0*(1.0-(1.0/3.0)+(1.0/5.0)-(1.0/7.0)+(1.0/9.0)-(1.0/11.0)+(1.0/13.0));
Thanks for any and all advice.
CC.

Re: Calculating pi
Perhaps you aren't including enough terms in the series. It looks like it would be a good application of a for loop to determine how many terms in the series are required, how quickly it converges, etc.
Re: Calculating pi
Any reason you're not using Java's Math.PI?
