How do you know? I think the 7,912th digit is wrong.
;)
I suppose you're joshing, Tim, but I really did check by using my trusty
====================================
def compareSequences(seq1, seq2):
"""
find first index at which two sequences differ
"""
if s1 == s2:
print "Sequences are identical"
return None
if len(seq1) >= len(seq2):
shorterOrEqualSequence = seq2
else:
shorterOrEqualSequence = seq1 for index in range(len(shorterOrEqualSequence)):
if seq1[index] != seq2[index]:
print "sequences first differ at index", index
print "s1 at that index is", s1[index]
print "s2 at that index is", s2[index]
breakif index == len(shorterOrEqualSequence)-1:
print "sequences are identical thru end of shorter sequence at index", index
==================================
I got the "correct" pi from <http://www.ballandclaw.com/upi/pi.50000.html>. By inspection of the text file I copied this to (removing the "3." of "3.1"), the 7,912th digit is "2" (I'm using Textpad). If you begin with "31", which what the speedy script does, the 7,912th digit is "6".
Now, I've shown you mine. Show me yours. ;-)
