    Below is a program designed to compute the value of pi.The value of pi can be obtained in many different ways. The link below uses different methods to obtain the value of pi. The program is easy to use, just follow the instructions.In order to run the code you will need use the command gcc homework.c-o homework-lm . See which method you like best!

    1. Gauss_Legendre Method:This method is notable for being rapidly convergent, with only 25 iterations to produce 45 million correct digits for pi.
    2. BBP Series: Discovered in 1995 by Simon Plouffe. This formula computes pi i n a base 16 without needing to compute the previous digits.
    3. Area Method: Pi can be obtained from a circle if its radius and area are known, from the formula A=pi*r*r
