@mbomb007 I don't have Python 2 - have you tested if the parentheses are needed in Python 2?

Doorknob

mbomb007

Yeah, they are

trichoplax

Ah OK

mbomb007

I'm doing Leibniz and I can't get it shorter than this:

exec"print sum((-1.)**i/(2*i+1)for i in range(input()));"*input()

It approximates π/4

trichoplax

Do you have to make it a float at that point or can you use a point somewhere later to force a float?

mbomb007

@trichoplax It's required before the division, otherwise it'll do integer division

trichoplax

I'm out of ideas then.

I thought of using (1,-1)[i%2] but that makes it a bit longer
