    [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.
