Actually, your first loop would have int
overflow in the calculation of (2 * i + 1)
when i
is large enough, so I wouldn’t rely on the output of it.
The second loop, on the other hand, produces a more correct output, since (2 * j + 1)
doesn’t overflow, since it performs long
multiplication.
This makes the “int – loop” calculates PI more accurate than “long – loop”
That’s probably just a coincidence, since the calculations in the int
loop overflow.
