/*

This program calculates pi to 6 decimal places
which it was limited to due to exceeding the time limit.
it uses the earliest known method for finding pi
developed by Madhava of Sangamagrama during the 14th
and 15th century */

public class Pi {
public static double pi = 4.0;
public static boolean action = true;
public static void main(String[] args) {
for(double i = 3; i<=10000000;i++) {
if(i % 2 == 1){
if(action == true){
pi -= 4/i;
action = false;
}else if (action == false){
pi += 4/i;
action = true;
}
}
}
pi = Math.round(pi*1000000.0)/1000000.0;
System.out.println("Pi is equal to " + pi);
}
