Finding Pi

[Bugg]

Im working on Borland C++ and Im trying to figure out an algorythm for pi, but the have all failed for me. Does anyone have a function for finding Pi I could use, or at least some help to finding it? Im in desperate need!!!!!!

Thankx in advance -- Bugg

kinda depends if you just want to know what pi is to a pretty good degree its somewhere around
3.141592653589793238433832795
you can also find it from calc.exe in c:\windows\
if you want to calculate it yourself, i dont have a clue


Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most

Use your friendly seaech engine. I just typed in "computing PI" in altavista.com and got over 10 pages of hits.

Various ways of computing PI to ridiculous lengths

Spigot.C Calculate PI to ~1,000 digits using integer ma
Pi.C Calculate PI to 8,000+ digits
Pi8.C Another PI calculator
Pi8.Nfo A discourse on the PI8.C algorithm
Pi_Agm.C Calculate PI to 10's of thousands of digits

from my old school days I vaguely recall using the following:

const double pi = 4 * ::tan(1);

please don't quote me on it, but let me know the result
OK?

I think that should be:

3.1415926535897932384626433832795

if I remember correctly... :-)

How can I tell you I miss you, if you won't go away?
