Pi approximation via Monte Carlo

Build Status

Educational project

The main target of the project is to try to use Rust for Monte Carlo approximation of Pi and measure how long does it take for inexperienced Rustacean.

Measured time

  • learning about Monte Carlo approximation of Pi: 7 minutes

    • involved mostly googling what exactly it is

  • inital naive implementation: 15 minutes

    • had to think how certain things are done in Rust
    • involves some googling of random number generation, casting

  • adding command line parameters: 12 minutes

    • did it first time, involved googling
    • a bit of struggle with conversion of parameter to u64

  • adding unit tests: 8 minutes

    • involved finding out I did a mistake in the original code
    • some googling, rearranging of tests
