approximate-pi
This program creates a bunch of points in a square, then draws a circle with the same radius. Then it checks which points are inside the circle. The ratio of inside to out should be around pi/4, therefor multiplying that by 4 should result in an approximation of pi.
Run
- Run
./cmake/approximate_pi
