1000 digits of pi in Python


I have been thinking about this issue and I can't figure it out. Perhaps you can assist me. The problem is my code isn't working to output 1000 digits of pi in the Python coding language.

Here's my code:

def make_pi():
    q, r, t, k, m, x = 1, 0, 1, 1, 3, 3
    while True:
        if 4 * q + r - t < m * t:
            yield m
            q, r, t, k, m, x = (10*q, 10*(r-m*t), t, k, (10*(3*q+r))//t - 10*m, x)
        else:
            q, r, t, k, m, x = (q*k, (2*q+r)*x, t*x, k+1, (q*(7*k+2)+r*x)//(t*x), x+2)

digits = make_pi()
pi_list = []
my_array = []
for i in range(1000):
    my_array.append(str("hello, I'm an element in an array \n" ))
big_string = "".join(my_array)

print "here is a big string:\n %s" % big_string 

I know this code can be fixed to work, but I'm not sure what to fix... The print statement saying here is a big string and the my_array.append(str("hello, im an element in an array \n)) is just a filler for now. I know how all the code is used to work, but like I said before, I can't get it to shoot out that code.


Solution

  • Run this

    def make_pi():
        q, r, t, k, m, x = 1, 0, 1, 1, 3, 3
        for j in range(1000):
            if 4 * q + r - t < m * t:
                yield m
                q, r, t, k, m, x = 10*q, 10*(r-m*t), t, k, (10*(3*q+r))//t - 10*m, x
            else:
                q, r, t, k, m, x = q*k, (2*q+r)*x, t*x, k+1, (q*(7*k+2)+r*x)//(t*x), x+2
    
    
    my_array = []
    
    for i in make_pi():
        my_array.append(str(i))
    
    my_array = my_array[:1] + ['.'] + my_array[1:]
    big_string = "".join(my_array)
    print "here is a big string:\n %s" % big_string 
    

    And read about yield operator from here: What does the "yield" keyword do?
