Algorithm: The previous iterates give the decimal expansion to the first incorrect digit, so I'm continuing the pattern
Line 28:
:<math>3.140\dots\!</math>
:<math>3.14159264\dots\!</math>
:<math>3.141592653589791415926535897932382\dots\!</math>
 
The algorithm has second-order convergent nature, which essentially means that the number of correct digits doubles with each step of the algorithm.
