Pie Baker

This project bakes up Pi to an arbitrary number of decimal places using the Gauss-Legendre recipe and Python's decimal kitchen scale.

Features

• Bake Pi to millions of digits (limited by your kitchen's memory and oven power)
• Uses the high-precision Gauss-Legendre recipe
• User input for how many digits to bake
• Taste test (verification) of your pie's length

Usage

1. Gather your ingredients

   pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Preheat the oven and start baking

   python oven.py

   Enter how many digits of Pi you want to bake when prompted.

   Chef's Note: Baking millions of digits requires a lot of kitchen space (RAM) and time. For 20,000,000 digits, make sure you have at least 10GB of RAM and plenty of patience.

3. Serving

   • The script serves up Pi to the number of decimal places you ordered.
   • It also taste-tests (verifies) the number of digits in your pie.

Example

How many do you want to bake?
1000
Baking 1000 pies...

Baked 1000Pi:
3.1415926535... (continues for 1000 digits)

Number of digits baked after decimal point: 1000
Taste test successful: Your pie has the correct number of decimal places!

Kitchen Tips

• For extra-large pies, consider serving to a file:

  python oven.py > pi_20million.txt

• The script uses the decimal kitchen scale for precise measurements.
• The number of recipe steps (iterations) in the Gauss-Legendre method is fixed for practicality, but you can add more for even finer pies.
