I'm having a hard time understanding the Spigot algorithm for π (pi) found here at the bottom of the page. I'm getting lost at the bottom of part 2 "Put A into regular form", I'm not exactly sure how to implement this in C (or any language really)…

This C program is just 143 characters long! But it “decompresses” into the first 10,000 digits of Pi. // Created by cheeseMan on 30/11/13. long a[35014],b,c=35014,d,e,f=1e4,g,h; int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { for(;(b=c-=14); …

I have translated the following C++ code: #include using namespace std; #define NDIGITS 100 #define LEN (NDIGITS/4+1)*14 long a[LEN]; long b; long c = LEN; long d; long e = 0; long f = 10000; long g; long h = 0; int main(void) { …

I'm coding the spigot algorithm for displaying digits of pi in ada, but my output is wrong and I can't figure out why I've tried messing with the range of my loops and different ways to output my data but nothings worked properly with…
