Expert Solution
Introduction

Gregory-Liebniz series helps to calculate the value of pi.

Here is the Java implementation of the Series.

Algorithm:

  • Take the input for n
  • declare a variable "pi"
  • iterate from 0 to n-1
  • generate "current term" for each iteration as t = ( 1 / (2*i + 1)  ) [ as mentioned in the question]
  • if the iteration is odd (like 1, 3, 5... ) , multiply the "current term" with -1, to make it negative
  • In each iteration, add the term with the value of pi
  • after the program control comes out of the loop, multiply 4 with the value of "pi"
  • print "pi"
