I think that is enough decimal places cal, I don't think anyone needs to be that accurate

[15:32:36] cal:
www.iamcal.com/files/cal_pi2.txt
[15:32:44] cal: this one prints out a value after each iteration
[15:33:33] cal: the formula is pi = (atan(5) * 4 - atan(239)) * 4
[15:33:46] cal: and we use an iterative formula for atan
[15:33:57] cal: so each iteration it gets closer to the true value
[15:34:32] cal: if you run that script
[15:34:42] cal: then you see the value getting more and more accurate

cal are you learning how to be a lecturer? or are you planning on writing a book on PHP? cos that is very very tutor sounding of you

beargod: perl not php
jeffld: meaning big_one, which makes it even funnier i guess :)

crap yeah damn, sorry cal, are you writing a book in Perl?
Posted by

no, fraid not. not clever enough for that sort of thing

can't you write a program to do it for you?

you could write it in VB to piss off the perl heads
"*grumble* my bloody perl book was written in vb, o the shame"

Hahaha, that'd be great! An AI perl expert written in VB. I bet somegeek would get the code and put it into a 5k contest in a day though.

"
this code is written in vb and its output is itself in perl"
$s='$s=%c%s%c;printf($s,39,$s,39);';printf($s,39,$s,39);

i find this frankly amazing:
E='E=%s;printf "$E" "\x27$E\x27"';printf "$E" "'$E'"

my all-time favourite ultra-tense code everer:
int a[1817];main(z,p,q,r){for(p=80;q+p-80;p-=2*a[p])for(z=9;z--;)q=3&(r=time(0)
+r*57)/7,q=q?q-1?q-2?1-p%79?-1:0:p%79-77?1:0:p158?-79:0,q?!a[p+q*2
]?a[p+=a[p+=q]=q]=q:0:0;for(;q++-1817;)printf(q%79?"%c":"%c\n"," #"[!a[q-1]]);}

where is the vb code? I don't see any vb code there.
Posted by
Saltation, 10:32, 13th August 2004:
i lied, it's not vb. oddly, i couldn't immediately find any examples on the wireless web of people using VB to write Perl.
there is SO a gap in the market there baby

Bash is wise. Bash is good:
#39620 +(191)- [X]
* Takeshi doesn't get the obsession with all the digits of pi
(rabid_si) It's like Mersienne Primes.
(rabid_si) Mathematicians get off on big numbers.
(Takeshi) Oh, so it's mathsturbation?
