Pi Java Source Code Problems, need help
Hey guys, I'm a student of java currently and am learning to put together a PI code, this is as far as I got and need to modify some things before I complete it, can I get some help on what to do from here, any help appriciated!
Code:
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
public class PiSourceCode
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
Scanner k = new Scanner (System.in);
// Calculate pi using method number 1
double pi1;// calculated value of PI method 1
// Gregory-Leibniz Series calculation
double t1, t2, t3, t4;
double sum3, sum4;
t1 = 4.0/1.0; t2 = 4.0/3.0; t3 = 4.0/5.0; t4 = 4.0/7.0;
sum3 = t1 - t2 + t3;
sum4 = t1 - t2 + t3 - t4;
// calculate the average of the sum of 3 terms and the sum of 4 terms
pi1 = (sum3 + sum4)/2.0;
// Place your code to calculate pi1, method 1
System.out.printf ("Gregory-Leibniz Method\nPI = %17.16f\n", pi1);
System.out.printf ("System Value\nPI = %17.16f\n",Math.PI);
//Determine difference between computed PI and system value for PI
double difference1 = Math.abs(Math.PI-pi1);
// Determine how accurate the result was
int count;
while ((Math.round(difference1)) == 0 && count <16)
{
count ++;
difference1 *= 10;
}
System.out.printf ("Gregory-Leibniz is accurate to %d digits\n", count);
double pi2; //calculated value of pi, method 2
// Place your code here to calculate pi2 using method 2
// Based on Nilakantha Series
t1 = 3.0; t2 = 4.0/(2.0*3.0*4.0); t3 = 4.0/(4.0*5.0*6.0); t4 = 4.0/(6.0*7.0*8.0);
sum3 = t1 + t2 - t3;
sum4 = t1 + t2 - t3 + t4;
pi2 = (sum3+sum4)/2.0;
System.out.printf ("Nilakantha Series\nPI = %17.16f\n", pi2);
System.out.printf ("System Value\nPI = %17.16f\n",Math.PI);
//Determine difference between computed PI and system value for PI
difference1 = Math.abs(Math.PI-pi2);
// Difference how accurate the result was
count = 0;
while ((Math.round(difference1)) == 0 && count <16)
{
count ++;
difference1 *= 10;
}
System.out.printf ("Nilakantha Series is accurate to %d digits\n", count);
}
}
