gregory.liebniz<-function(tol=0.0001) {
pi.diff<-1
iter<-0
numer<-1
last.pi<-0
pi4<-0
while(pi.diff > tol) {
pi4<-pi4+numer/(2*iter+1)
this.pi<-pi4*4
pi.diff<-abs(this.pi-last.pi)
last.pi<-this.pi
iter<-iter+1
numer<- -numer
}
return(this.pi)
}
What you want is probably a while loop, testing for a level of
convergence like this simple method for calculating pi.
