[JAVASCRIPT] - Calculating Pi
I converted this from VB6 into Javascript:
Code:
function CalculatePi() // Calculates Pi by counting all the points around a circle making it easier and randomizing it.
{
var TOTAL_POINTS = new Number(1000000); // points in pi (3.14159)
var x = new Number();
var y = new Number();
var points_in_circle = new Number();
var i = new Number();
for (i;i<=TOTAL_POINTS;i++) // for i = 0 to 1000000 increasing by 1 increment every loop
{
x = Math.random() * 1; // random x between 0 and 1
y = Math.random() * 1; // random y between 0 and 1
if (x * x + y * y < 1) // if both randomized to 0
{
points_in_circle = points_in_circle + 1; // increase points_in_circle
}
}
return 4 * points_in_circle / TOTAL_POINTS; // return answer to user
}

Re: [JAVASCRIPT] - Calculating Pi
Technically, the OP code is a Monte Carlo simulation that will generate a reasonable approximation of pi. But every time that code is ran, a slightly different result is likely to be returned.
And I'm only adding this note because this thread was needlessly bumped already.
