pi calacalter for linux?

pi calacalter for linux? is there one.

[raggie30]

its a benchmark btw

I guess it would depend on which distrobution you are using. I use Slackware which has a scientific calculator in utilities.
I'm sure if whatever distro you are using doesn't have one, you can download one from freshmeat.net.

Write your own - 4 - 4/3 + 4/5 - 4/7 + 4/9... into infinity. If you know Java, the java.math.BigDecimal class should help you.

Hmm, there's a constant in math.h which is M_PI, btw, you can calculate it by yourself.
There is something which is called leibnitz row.
which is calculated like this:

1 1 1 1 1 1 1
---*pi = 1 - --- + --- - --- + --- - --- = ... +- -------
4 3 5 7 9 11 2*n-1

hmm, I have the C source for doing this thing, but I dont think that there is some problem of implementing it by yourself.

4 3 5 7 9 11 2*n-1 I think you wanted code tags around that:

1 1 1 1 1 1 1
---*pi = 1 - --- + --- - --- + --- - --- + ... +- -------
4 3 5 7 9 11 2*n-1 Looks much better, don't you think?

And yes, this is exactly the same thing that Resident_Geek was saying. ;)

calculate pi? you don't get out much do you:D

[Kralgi]

bwkaz, tnx , that's what I've wanted to say..
how did you fix it out?:)

[bwkaz]

Code tags. You can hit quote on my post to see how they work (please, don't hit submit though), but basically, you put [ code] before the stuff you want to keep the spaces in, and [ /code] after it. But you've got to get rid of the spaces in the tags first (they're only there so that you can see what they look like)..

i used to use the 1 million calcation to bench my windows machinee i just want to make sure my linux pc is as fast

[Kralgi]

Gotcha! tnx a lot.
