我试图通过随机数生成器编写一个基于蒙特卡罗方法估计Pi的程序。我试图在1,2,3,4,5和6位精度内估算Pi，并让程序在屏幕上打印到Pi的1位数，然后是Pi的0.01位数。等等，一直到Pi的.000001位数。我允许用户输入他们想要运行的试验数量，因此它将打印“试验1,2,3,4”等，并附上我在上面列出的所有信息。我被困在最后一点，这是让它循环回计算（它不会打印超过试验1）。虽然我没有收到程序已终止的消息，但我无法分辨是否是我的while循环失败或我的嵌套for循环。请帮忙！ :)
我试图切换for循环以及尝试不同的if语句。除了允许用户运行多个试验之外，这是我最接近运行的方式。

我看到的问题：
第一个for循环没有任何意义。如果你想确保使用0.1,0.01,0.001等的精度，你只需要一个简单的for循环。以下应该做：
for ( int j = 0; j < 6; ++j )
{
...
}
x和y值计算错误。您希望确保它们的值小于或等于radius。但是，当您使用时：
x = (float)(rand());
x = (x / 32767) * radius;
y = (float)(rand());
y = (y / 32767) * radius;
它们不能保证小于或等于radius。他们将比他们不会更频繁地使用radius。你需要使用
x = (float)(rand() % 32768);
x = (x / 32767) * radius;
y = (float)(rand() % 32768);
y = (y / 32767) * radius;
您需要在内部randpi循环的每次迭代中重置squarecount，circlecount和for的值。否则，您的计算将受到前一次迭代计算的影响。
外部for循环必须以：
for (int j = 0; j < 6; j++)
{
accuracy /= 10;
randpi = 0;
squarecount = 0;
circlecount = 0;
必须将内部for循环约束为仅运行一定次数。如果由于某种原因未达到准确性，您需要确保不要溢出i。例如：
int stopAt = (INT_MAX >> 8);
for (int i = 0; (randpi >= pi + accuracy || randpi <= pi - accuracy) && i < stopAt; i++)
对于使用32位ints的机器，这在今天的实践中是最常见的，你不会运行循环比0x7FFFFF（十进制的8388607）时间。
这是代码中的核心问题。您的计算有时不收敛，并且您不确定在循环的一定次数的迭代后退出。
您不需要将radius作为程序中的变量。您可以将x和y计算为：
x = (float)(rand() % 32768);
x = (x / 32767);
y = (float)(rand() % 32768);
y = (y / 32767);
并更改逻辑以检查这是否是圆圈内的一个点
if ((x * x) + (y * y) <= 1.0 )
您还应该尝试仅在需要它们的范围内定义变量。这将确保您不会最终使用上一次迭代运行中的陈旧值。
