Print pi to a number of decimal places

Question

One of the challenges on w3resources is to print pi to \'n\' decimal places. Here is my code:

from math import pi

fraser = str(pi)

length_of_pi = []

numbe         


        

Answer 1

The proposed solutions using np.pi, math.pi, etc only only work to double precision (~14 digits), to get higher precision you need to use multi-precision, for example the mpmath package

>>> from mpmath import mp
>>> mp.dps = 20    # set number of digits
>>> print(mp.pi)
3.1415926535897932385

Using np.pi gives the wrong result

>>> format(np.pi, '.20f')
3.14159265358979311600

Compare to the true value:

3.14159265358979323846264338327...
