Calculate pi to 1000 decimal places using both p5.js and Processing #47

Calculate pi to 1000 decimal places using both p5.js and Processing. Compare the speed of both languages. How about 100000 places?

Well it's basically just repeated addition with certain values. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi#Rapidly_convergent_series

I don't know, how good you are at math but basically you just pick one of the series' and put it into a for-loop and then pick a big i to be used. The bigger the i, the more digits you get.
