我需要一些帮助来计算Pi。我正在尝试编写一个将Pi转换为X位数的python程序。我已经从python邮件列表中尝试了几种,但使用起来很慢。我已经阅读了有关Gauss-Legendre算法的文章,并且尝试将其移植到Python中没有成功。
我正在从这里阅读,对于我要去哪里出错,我将不胜感激!
输出:0.163991276262
from __future__ import division import math def square(x):return x*x a = 1 b = 1/math.sqrt(2) t = 1/4 x = 1 for i in range(1000): y = a a = (a+b)/2 b = math.sqrt(b*y) t = t - x * square((y-a)) x = 2* x pi = (square((a+b)))/4*t print pi raw_input()
您忘记了以下括号4*t:
4*t
pi = (a+b)**2 / (4*t)
您可以decimal用来执行更高精确度的计算。
decimal
#!/usr/bin/env python from __future__ import with_statement import decimal def pi_gauss_legendre(): D = decimal.Decimal with decimal.localcontext() as ctx: ctx.prec += 2 a, b, t, p = 1, 1/D(2).sqrt(), 1/D(4), 1 pi = None while 1: an = (a + b) / 2 b = (a * b).sqrt() t -= p * (a - an) * (a - an) a, p = an, 2*p piold = pi pi = (a + b) * (a + b) / (4 * t) if pi == piold: # equal within given precision break return +pi decimal.getcontext().prec = 100 print pi_gauss_legendre()
