我只是在学习C++,所以我开始用一个简单的程序来逼近pi的值,使用系列:Pi ^ 6/960 = 1 + 1/3 ^ 6 + 1/5 ^ 6 ......所以继续使用奇数的分母到6的幂.这是我的代码:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
double pi_approximation = 0; // the approximated value of pi
double iteration = 3; // number used that increases to increase accuracy
double sum = 1; // the cumulative temporary total
int main ()
{
    while (true) // endlessly loops
    {
        sum = sum + pow(iteration,-6); // does the next step in the series
        iteration = iteration + 2; // increments iteration
        pi_approximation = pow((sum * 960),(1 / 6)); // solves the equation for pi
        cout << setprecision (20) << pi_approximation << "\n"; // prints pi to maximum precision permitted with a double
    }
}
代码似乎工作正常(变量'sum'和'iteration'正确增加)直到这一行:
pi_approximation = pow((sum * 960),(1 / 6)); // solves the equation for pi
由于某种原因,'pi_approximation'保留其值为1,因此打印到'cout'的文本为"1".
