  1. Instead of alternating operations, I did it by putting both operations in one loop and adding 2 inbetween like so:

    	double factor = 0;
    	int count = 0;
     
    	for(int i = 1;i<=3000000;i+=2) {
    		count+=2;
    		double addend = (1.0/i);
    		i+=2;
    		addend-=(1.0/i);
    		factor+=addend;
    		System.out.println(count + ": 4*"+factor+" = " + 4*factor);
     
    	}

    That will print ALOT of them, so don't use that loop probably, change the delimiter part, or put an if(count>=30000) break; since i is not a count of factors added

    pi=4*(1-1/3+1/5-1/7+1/9-1/11+1/13+...)
    please help me in getting this code implemented.. i dont have any clue on how to start this..
    i know that in the loop you need to add 2 in the denominator but i have no idea on how to implement alternating operations
