Observe the return pi line, where it seems a * was expanded into the contents of my home directory.
chatgpt Sure! Here's an implementation of the Leibniz formula for calculating pi in Python:
```python
def calculate_pi():
pi = 0
sign = 1
denominator = 1
precision = 1e-10 # 10 decimal places
while True:
term = sign / denominator
if abs(term) < precision:
break
pi += term
sign = -sign
denominator += 2

print(calculate_pi())
This algorithm uses an infinite series to calculate pi, adding and subtracting terms alternately to converge on the value. The precision variable determines how close the result needs to be to the true value of pi, and the loop continues until the absolute value of the next term is smaller than that precision. The result is then multiplied by 4 since the series actually calculates pi/4.
