Calculating Pi



#2

I stumbled on a neat bit of C code when looking at the PB-2000C (a C-capable calculator, which is weird enough by itself). The code calculates Pi to any number of places. Here's it is...

long a=10000,b,c,d,e,*f,g;
main(){printf("digits?");scanf("%ld",&c);c*=3.5;c-=c%14;f=malloc(4*c+4);
for(;b-c;)f[b++]=a/5;for(;d=0,g=c*2;c-=14,printf("%.4d",e+d/a),e=d%a)
for(b=c;d+=f[b]*a,f[b]=d%--g,d/=g--,--b;d*=b);}

Compiled and ran it on my machine. I don't understand how it works, but it does. Could anyone with a bit of math skills please comment on what's actually happening here? It looks like magic to me.

Thanks
A

.... wow.
Thanks!

Side note - libtommath is in use in the 39gII.

I've never found any good speed comparision between that and other (free/commercial) libraries. Anyone seen one before anywhere?

I have a fairly comprehensive beta version of a longfloat library written in hpgcc3 for hp50g.
It is user accessible, and it is based on decnumber.
I'm fairly confident it will outpermform similar librarys for any hpcalculator.
Send me a note if you want to give it a try.
Best regards

Agreed for FP, but not for INT. libtommath is much faster for large integer math. At least based on the comparisons I did years ago.

#8

Hi again,

I agree, there are (much) faster librarys for special purposes.

My library is suitable for floating point evaluation up to about 1000 digits for real and complex values.

It is accessible from user-rpl, you set number of floating point digits, and can directly evaluate expresions like e.g.

'4*ATAN(1)' ->FNUM

100 digits in 0,1s , 200 digits in 0,4s, 500 digits in 4,1s

'SQRT(-2)' ->FNUM

1000 digits in 0,1s, 10000 digits 11,2s

except for basic arithmetic there is a limit of about 1000 DIGITS

Best regards

Gjermund
