# Pi

### Classical Algorithm

```ruby
func pi(callback) {
    var (q, r, t, k, n, l) = (1, 0, 1, 1, 3, 3)
    loop {
        if ((4*q + r - t) < n*t) {
            callback(n)
            static _dot = callback('.')
            var nr = 10*(r - n*t)
            n = ((10*(3*q + r)) // t - 10*n)
            q *= 10
            r = nr
        }
        else {
            var nr = ((2*q + r) * l)
            var nn = ((q*(7*k + 2) + r*l) // (t*l))
            q *= k
            t *= l
            l += 2
            k += 1
            n = nn
            r = nr
        }
    }
}

STDOUT.autoflush(true)
pi(func(digit){ print digit })
```

### Quicker, Unverified Algorithm

From the same .pdf mentioned throughout this task, from the last page. The original algorithm was written in Haskell, this is a translation which has also been optimized to avoid redundant multiplications. Same output, but the algorithm is based on one of Gosper’s series that yields more than one digit per term on average, so no test is made partway through the iteration. This is capable of producing approximately 100,000 digits at [tio.run](https://tio.run/##Hc@9boNAEATg3k@xnXfvNjaXcEkUa7v0KeLU0fkwP7Zl4DgiIYtnJ4A0xTTfSNNV2Tmfpry/e2jQEzzgzwVsOXDkgi9c8pUdn3ggEEDD5j3h1zU2ZZOssfxCG4BbXTez9zgItgqdluc3Am1VoP3eqkgH6KKLlYffecvjdrddGEAQkygstFy02JTUok9znXGAp2GVrZJSy1VLmhwgKilghHHzffz8@jnuXB/r/NZ3JRr6aHB5gxk9mlDdI2QjTdM/) in the maximum 60 seconds allowed.

```ruby
func p(c) { var(q,r,t,g,j,h,k,a,b,y) = (1,180,60,60,54,10,10,15,3)
  loop { c(y=(q*(a+=27) +5*r)//5*t); static _ = c('.')
    r=10*(g+=j+=54)*(q*(b+=5) +r -y*t); q*=h+=k+=40; t*=g } }
p(func(d){print d})
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://trizen.gitbook.io/sidef-lang/programming_tasks/p/pi.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
