Hey guys, I've got a problem - I've just written a few lines to approximate PI with the Monte Carlo Method.
This is my code: import std.stdio, std.conv, std.string, std.random; void main() { string buf; int n, hits; float x, y, pi; Random rnd; rnd.seed(unpredictableSeed); write("Please enter the number of approximation steps: "); stdin.readln(buf); buf = chomp(buf); if(isNumeric(buf)) { n = parse!int(buf); for(int i = 0; i <= n -1; i++) { x = uniform(0.0f, 1.0f, rnd); y = uniform(0.0f, 1.0f, rnd); if((x*x + y*y) <= 1) { hits++; writeln(hits); //only for debugging } } pi = (hits / n) * 4.f; writeln(pi); } } But the result is always 0 because my var "hits" is set to zero before I try to calculate PI. But why? Please help me. Nice wishes Fabian
