[Script] Calculate Pi

[PartyMTA]

hi,i made this little script with the method of Archimedes to calculate the Pi.

  
function getPi(commandName,number) 
    calc = number*math.sin(0.5/number) 
  
    outputChatBox(calc) 
end 
addCommandHandler("pi",getPi) 
  

Command:

/pi (number) 

change (number) to the wished number. Without ()!

its actually easy to make this. i just was bored

function getPi(commandName,number) 
number = tonumber ( number )  
if number then -- if we converted it into a number then lets proceed ..... 
    calc = number*math.sin(0.5/number) 
    outputChatBox(calc) 
      end 
end 
addCommandHandler("pi",getPi) 
  

Well good luck. Your efforts are always appreciated.

What about this?

math.pi 

Isnt that actually the same?

I'm confused. What's the point of this script? Why calculate pi? How are you going to calculate pi by passing a number to the command?

print( math.pi ); 
-- or if accuracy isn't that important to you: 
print( 22/7 );

math.pi

That will go up to 13 decimals, this code will go to ~15 decimals

Still,

How are you going to calculate pi by passing a number to the command?

Wasn't that pointless function "binary" you placed all over the wiki while you attempted to "hack" the wiki enough?
