Gerson's Pi Program

[EdS2]

Very nice! I'd like to port it to BBC Basic, where we have 4 byte integers and 5 byte floats. But it's not working... any ideas?

Minor notes:

The DEFINT are ignored, because in BBC Basic we need to decorate integer variables with % suffix. I was hoping that would merely be a speed advantage as the 5 byte floats are very nearly as good as the 4 byte ints for accuracy and range.

I took the ! off the end of the B=100000000 but I don't know what it means.

I changed the \ operators to DIV, guessing that this is what's meant.

I changed the printing to print an integer rounded version of the number.

Here's the link.

(Edit: typo for 4 byte ints)
