Question
Pi is an irrational number having non-recurring decimal values. We commonly know T=3.14 orJ=22/7,
but it is just an approximation for our ease. There is a method to calculate the value of r in python
using Leibniz's series:
T/4 = 1-1/3+ 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9-..
This series is never-ending, the more the terms this series contains, the closer the value converges to
JT value. Write an algorithm to compute T. Because the formula is an infinite series and an algorithm
must stop after a finite number of steps, you should stop when you have the result determined to six
significant digits.
