[SOLVED] Why does my program output "inf"??

The program is supposed to print an approximation of pi. Why am I getting inf? https://code.sololearn.com/c2vgob6m3Vrf/?ref=app https://www.sololearn.com/post/748624/?ref=app

in your first if statement, you divide 4 by 0. That seems to be a problem

Slick Benjamin JĂŒrgens you are right, and I didn't even needed to start the loop from 1. Now I know that I need to check for this kind of stuff when I get "inf" Thank you so much đŸ€—

In the first iteration of the loop i=1, so i*i*i-i=1-1=0 and 4.0/0=inf
