Can you calculate Pi using a Solver?

WHAT?

Code:

120   LET T=3.1415927*(D/180)
130   LET A=2*N*SIN(T/2)
140   LET B=2*N*TAN(T/2)

155   IF A=B THEN GOTO 170

170 END

Err... this looks like a checking how precise the arithmetics of that computer...

It shows that both an inscribed and circumscribed polygon approach PI as the number of sides increases. I agree it was poorly named.
