Pi being a transcendental number, how can my C++ graphics program which simulates compass and straight edge,produce an algerbraic vulue for pi that when divided by my PC pi produce one and subtraction 4.44089209850026126e -16? How accurate must the result be? One could never achieve this accuracy by hand because of minor errors. I am 75 and would love to know the error after working on the solution for so long. Can you please assist. Michael Rack michael-rack@beeb.net. http://www.geocities.com/mikerack_uk/index.html<BR/>ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
