从圆面积计算π:-)

<input id="range" type="range" min="10" max="960" value="10" step="50" oninput="calcPi()"> <br> <div id="cont"></div> <script> function generateCircle(width) { var c = width/2; var delta = 1.0; var str = ""; var xCount = 0; for (var x=0; x <= width; x++) { for (var y = 0; y <= width; y++) { var d = Math.sqrt((x-c)*(x-c) + (y-c)*(y-c)); if (d > (width-1)/2) { str += '.'; } else { xCount++; str += 'o'; } str += "&nbsp;" } str += "\n"; } var pi = (xCount * 4) / (width * width); return [str, pi]; } function calcPi() { var e = document.getElementById("cont"); var width = document.getElementById("range").value; e.innerHTML = "<h4>Generating circle...</h4>"; setTimeout(function() { var circ = generateCircle(width); e.innerHTML = "<pre>" + "π = " + circ[1].toFixed(2) + "\n" + circ[0] +"</pre>"; }, 200); } calcPi(); </script>

如果你想计算π值的近似值(出于某种原因)，你应该尝试二进制提取算法。Bellard对BBP的改进给出了O(N²)中的PI。

如果你想获得π值的近似值来进行计算，那么:

PI = 3.141592654

当然，这只是一个近似值，并不完全准确。误差略大于0.00000000004102。(4个十万亿分之一，大约4/10,000,000,000)。

如果你想用π做数学运算，那就准备好铅笔和纸，或者电脑代数包，然后使用π的精确值π。

如果你真的想要一个公式，这个很有趣:

π = -i ln(-1)

这是一个“经典”方法，非常容易实现。 这个在python(不是最快的语言)中的实现:

from math import pi
from time import time


precision = 10**6 # higher value -> higher precision
                  # lower  value -> higher speed

t = time()

calc = 0
for k in xrange(0, precision):
    calc += ((-1)**k) / (2*k+1.)
calc *= 4. # this is just a little optimization

t = time()-t

print "Calculated: %.40f" % calc
print "Constant pi: %.40f" % pi
print "Difference: %.40f" % abs(calc-pi)
print "Time elapsed: %s" % repr(t)

你可以在这里找到更多信息。

无论如何，在python中获得精确的圆周率值的最快方法是:

from gmpy import pi
print pi(3000) # the rule is the same as 
               # the precision on the previous code

下面是gpy pi方法的源代码，我认为在这种情况下，代码没有注释那么有用:

static char doc_pi[]="\
pi(n): returns pi with n bits of precision in an mpf object\n\
";

/* This function was originally from netlib, package bmp, by
 * Richard P. Brent. Paulo Cesar Pereira de Andrade converted
 * it to C and used it in his LISP interpreter.
 *
 * Original comments:
 * 
 *   sets mp pi = 3.14159... to the available precision.
 *   uses the gauss-legendre algorithm.
 *   this method requires time o(ln(t)m(t)), so it is slower
 *   than mppi if m(t) = o(t**2), but would be faster for
 *   large t if a faster multiplication algorithm were used
 *   (see comments in mpmul).
 *   for a description of the method, see - multiple-precision
 *   zero-finding and the complexity of elementary function
 *   evaluation (by r. p. brent), in analytic computational
 *   complexity (edited by j. f. traub), academic press, 1976, 151-176.
 *   rounding options not implemented, no guard digits used.

编辑:我在剪切和粘贴和缩进方面有一些问题，你可以在这里找到源代码。

基本上是C版本的回形针优化器的答案，并且更加简化:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

double calc_PI(int K) {
    static const int A = 545140134;
    static const int B = 13591409;
    static const int D = 640320;
    const double ID3 = 1.0 / ((double) D * (double) D * (double) D);
    double sum = 0.0;
    double b = sqrt(ID3);
    long long int p = 1;
    long long int a = B;
    sum += (double) p * (double) a * b;
    for (int k = 1; k < K; ++k) {
        a += A;
        b *= ID3;
        p *= (6 * k) * (6 * k - 1) * (6 * k - 2) * (6 * k - 3) * (6 * k - 4) * (6 * k - 5);
        p /= (3 * k) * (3 * k - 1) * (3 * k - 2) * k * k * k;
        p = -p;
        sum += (double) p * (double) a * b;
    }
    return 1.0 / (12 * sum);
}

int main() {
    for (int k = 1; k <= 5; ++k) {
        printf("k = %i, PI = %.16f\n", k, calc_PI(k));
    }
}

但为了更简化，这个算法采用Chudnovsky公式，如果你不太理解代码，我可以完全简化这个公式。

Summary: We will get a number from 1 to 5 and add it in to a function we will use to get PI. Then 3 numbers are given to you: 545140134 (A), 13591409 (B), 640320 (D). Then we will use D as a double multiplying itself 3 times into another double (ID3). We will then take the square root of ID3 into another double (b) and assign 2 numbers: 1 (p), the value of B (a). Take note that C is case-insensitive. Then a double (sum) will be created by multiplying the value's of p, a and b, all in doubles. Then a loop up until the number given for the function will start and add up A's value to a, b's value gets multiplied by ID3, p's value will be multiplied by multiple values that I hope you can understand and also gets divided by multiple values as well. The sum will add up by p, a and b once again and the loop will repeat until the value of the loop's number is greater or equal to 5. Later, the sum is multiplied by 12 and returned by the function giving us the result of PI.

好吧，这很长，但我想你会理解的……

如果您愿意使用近似值，355 / 113适用于6个十进制数字，并且具有用于整数表达式的附加优势。如今，这已经不那么重要了，因为“浮点数学协处理器”已经没有任何意义了，但它曾经非常重要。
