Calculating Pi

[SonniE]

this was an assignment i had todo today posting it here for no reason.
pretty much the program uses this weird algorithm.
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/GregorySeries.html
simply does pi = 4 * (1 - (1/3) + (1/5) - (1/7).......) etc
the more times you go through this pattern the more exact you get.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class PiCalc {
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    	Scanner keyb = new Scanner(System.in);
    	double pi =0;
    	double numer = 1;
    	double denom = 1;
    	System.out.println("Enter the Number of iterations: ");
    	double counter = keyb.nextDouble();
    	while(counter>0)
    	{
    		pi+= numer/denom;
    		numer*=-1;
    		denom+=2;
    		counter--;
    	}
    	pi*=4.0;
    	System.out.println("Pi Was Calculated As: " + pi);
    }
}

ran program with these parameters

Enter the Number of iterations:
799999999
Pi Was Calculated As: 3.1415926548383024

i googled pi and found it to be
3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375 10582097494459230781640628620899862803482534211706 79.....
