Jul 20, 2023 at 3:51 comment added ATaco I’m voting to close this question because use of a specific algorithm is impossible to objectively validate

Aug 30, 2012 at 11:14 comment added DavidC @PeterTaylor "Slowly converging" is an understatement. It took roughly one million places to attain the desired precision!
Aug 30, 2012 at 7:03 comment added Peter Taylor @DavidCarraher, although that's mathematically inevitable using this series, from a numerical analytical point of view it's highly dubious. A slowly converging alternating series is a poster child for loss of significance.
Aug 29, 2012 at 22:59 comment added DavidC I think you should require that the algorithm be one of successive approximation: the longer you compute, the closer you get to pi.

Aug 29, 2012 at 17:30 comment added PleaseStand Have you seen codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/506/… , which is very similar? At the very least, trig functions should be banned for this problem because they allow for trivial solutions such as this QBASIC program: ?INT(4E5*ATN(1))/1E5
