Re^2: porting C code to Perl

[Discipulus]

Hello danaj and.. I'm astonished!!

You provided a lot of high quality informations, each one worth to be investigated.

I must admit I started this as a game, following my eclectic inclination even if math fu is stalled ~at primary school (you already know my math medieval level), my C understanding is zero and my Perl is.. still improving.

> If you're happy using it, then great..

Obviously no! I'm fascinated by this matter and I love Perl so my next step will be to (re-)implement the Chudnovsky algorithm in Perl just for fun and self improvement.

I'd really like to see a blog post by you about different approach to Pi calculation. I hope it will be accessible (understandable) also for not mathematicians. In this spirit dunno if you noticed the page linked by haukex in this thread. I must admit I'm still trying to decipher it.

For completness using integer speed up the code quite a bit. See also the interesting ambrus's post about Computing pi to multiple precision

She He always performs like this. See also at github. Great.

Update: I adressed the honorable monk wrong. Sorry and thanks to choroba. But it isn't so easy: Dana. See also he
