has gloss | eng: A spigot algorithm is an algorithm used to compute the value of a mathematical constant such as π or e. Unlike recursive algorithms, a spigot algorithm yields digits incrementally without using previously computed digits. The Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe formula for the binary digits of π is an example of a spigot algorithm. |
