How to Calculate Pi in C
Somebody on Forrst wanted to calculate Pi in C and was using an incredibly
convoluted algorithm. I was quite certain that it was a simple trigonometric
function. Turns out, PI is good enough if you just use 4 * atan(1) or 4 *
atan2(0,-1). If you’re feeling extra ambitious, I guess you could implement
the Brent-Salamin Algorithm or try your hands at the Monte Carlo
Method.
