Python - Fastest Method To Calculate Value of Pi Up To Any Precision

🐍 Here is the fastest ever method to calculate the value of Pi up to any number of decimal places as you want. It was introduced in the year 1989 by David Volfovich Chudnovsky and Gregory Volfovich Chudnovsky. Simply change 'prec' value in the code below.

Solution

from decimal import Decimal as Dec, getcontext as gc

def PI(maxK=70, prec=1008, disp=1007): # parameter defaults chosen to gain 1000+ digits within a few seconds
    gc().prec = prec
    K, M, L, X, S = 6, 1, 13591409, 1, 13591409 
    for k in range(1, maxK+1):
        M = (K**3 - 16*K) * M // k**3 
        L += 545140134
        X *= -262537412640768000
        S += Dec(M * L) / X
        K += 12
    pi = 426880 * Dec(10005).sqrt() / S
    pi = Dec(str(pi)[:disp]) # drop few digits of precision for accuracy
    print("PI(maxK=%d iterations, gc().prec=%d, disp=%d digits) =\n%s" % (maxK, prec, disp, pi))
    return pi

Pi = PI()
print("\nFor greater precision and more digits (takes a few extra seconds) - Try")
print("Pi = PI(317,4501,4500)") 
print("Pi = PI(353,5022,5020)")

Python - List - Append, Count, Extend, Index, Insert, Pop, Remove, Reverse, Sort

🐍 Advance List List is widely used and it's functionalities are heavily useful. Append Adds one element at the end of the list. Syntax list1.append(value) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.append(4) l1 Output [1, 2, 3, 4] append can be used to add any datatype in a list. It can even add list inside list. Caution: Append does not return anything. It just appends the list. Count .count(value) counts the number of occurrences of an element in the list. Syntax list1.count(value) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 3] l1.count(3) Output 2 It returns 0 if the value is not found in the list. Extend .count(value) counts the number of occurrences of an element in the list. Syntax list1.extend(list) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.extend([4, 5]) Output [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] If we use append, entire list will be added to the first list like one element. Extend, i nstead of considering a list as one element, it joins the two lists one after other. Append works in the following way. Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.append([4, 5]) Output...

Difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose?

Here I answer what is the difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose? .exec() is used with a query while .execPopulate() is used with a document Syntax for .exec() is as follows: Model.query() . populate ( 'field' ) . exec () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); Syntax for .execPopulate() is as follows: fetchedDocument . populate ( 'field' ) . execPopulate () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); When working with individual document use .execPopulate(), for model query use .exec(). Both returns a promise. One can do without .exec() or .execPopulate() but then has to pass a callback in populate.

Resolve: Uncaught TypeError: firebase.database is not a function

If you are getting the error: Uncaught TypeError: firebase.database is not a function Resolve it by including firebase-database.js in your html page as follows: <!-- The core Firebase JS SDK is always required and must be listed first --> <script defer src = "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/6.2.4/firebase-app.js" ></script> <script defer src = "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/3.1.0/firebase-database.js" ></script> That is it. Let me know if this was helpful.
