Pi Approximation Accuracy Data

The document contains calculations of pi using various algorithms. It runs calculations using sides of length 4, 8, 16, 32 etc up to 1,048,576 and records the estimated value of pi from each algorithm inside and outside the circle. The accuracy of each estimate improves as the number of sides increases, reaching full accuracy at 524,288 sides.
