"A method that is easier to understand and does not make use of the sin function is based on the fact that if $X \\sim U(0,1)$ and $Y \\sim U(0,1)$, then $P[X^{2} +Y^{2} \\leq 1] = \\pi/4$ (see [\"Monte Carlo method\" on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method)). The following code uses this approach:"
