Why are computers able to store 100000000000000000000000000 but

>>62464041
yes

const int pi = 3;

done.

Pi isn't a number, it's an algorithm

>>62464041
Storage is not the issue, it's finding the exact number. This is dumb.

>>62464100
pie is a ratio, ratios can be represented by numbers

3/1 = 3

pie/1 = pie

>>62464231
a ratio which is impossible to calculate the value of without an algorithm

>>62464041
They can. Write Pi down on some paper and mail it to me. I'll put it in the computers.

>filename
I'm genuinely mad

>>62464041
pie is a transcendental number that cannot be represented exactly in number systems including binary, so you in theory you need infinite storage to store it exactly which is impossible, most numbers are transcendental btw, integers and rational numbers are the exception and even some perfectly represented rational number in decimal cannot be exactly represented in binary like 1/10 and 1/3 for example

It can be, in base π

You don't even know the answer. If you knew the answer you would just post it. xD

My goodness, half this thread is just retarded

You guys are all fucking stupid. All a computer needs to store is Chudnovsky algorithm in pic related. Then just put that through a calculator and specify to what accuracy you want it to (AVX-512, FP16, FP64, ect).

You're wrong, it's limited by the precision of the computer

3.14 isn't the exact ratio, you need an algo

does the CPU support that algo? at which depth of precision?

>>62464041
Thank you for the question unfortunately nobody read it through to the end except me. pi is not rational.

Hello brainlet.

>>62465017
>cannot be represented exactly in number systems
It can. π is an exact representation. Just as 1/3 is an exact representation.

>most numbers are transcendental btw
It's not even wrong. It just makes no sense. There is an infinite amount of non-transcendental numbers between any two arbitrary transcendental numbers. Just as the other way round.

>even some perfectly represented rational number in decimal cannot be exactly represented in binary like 1/10 and 1/3 for example
1/10 and 1/3 are representations. You can do the same in binary. 1/1010 and 1/11.

>>62467776
>number systems
do you even what that means?
can you represent pi exactly using decimal number system or any other integer base?

> It's not even wrong. It just makes no sense
you are right, infinite cannot be less than other infinite, but it's still the exception along the infinite spectrum of numbers
> 1/10
I meant (1/10) can be represented exactly in decimal (0.1)dec, but it's irrational when you represnet it in number system with base 2 aka binary, it will be something like (0.11001101.....)bin

>>62464041
>rational numbers like pie.

Pi is not rational... Unless you mean this >>62464084

>>62466494
engineer would be
pi = 10

t. engineer

always need a "risk-factor" in the calculations. And it's easier to do in the head when all the numbers are multiples of 10.

My computer still has a drawer to hold mini pizzas, does that count?

>>62467876
>integer base
why limit it to integers?
pi is exactly 10 in base pi.

But anon, computers can store pi

Here it is stored in a png

>>62466564
How would you express any integer in base pi, let alone any other transcendental number?

>>62468060
The same way you would express pi in any integer base

>>62468130
Well I guess you can have base pi since the only number that can't be a base is 0, but it wouldn't be very useful really. Also, that would only apply to the integers -3,-2,-1 (since they're greater than minus pi) and 0,1,2 and 3 (since they're less than positive pi)

pi is not a rational number, it's the archetypal irrational number.

also it's amazing that computers can even do math, as they barely represent numbers to begin with. just makes you realise that we don't need a lot of precision to get certain "human scale" calculations to work properly.

>>62467876

What are countable and uncountable infinities?

>>62465017
>most numbers are transcendental
no

>>62468831
Infinity+1 = infinity, so yes, infinite cannot be less than another infinite.

isnt that what the rasberry pie computers do

Someone make this thread interesting an shove a pie in their computer.

>>62468020
I don't need these faggy math equations, I can just monty carlo it.

Because it's an irrational number.

>>62465017
4gb on a drive is heavier than Pigb though

>>62471887
no, they work like normal computers, just smaller. the name comes from the inventors love for raspberry pie, has nothing to do with pi.

>>62465063
kek

>>62464084

const double pi = 22.0 / 7.0; // close enough
