"A method that is easier to understand and does not make use of 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:"
"It is then straightforward to obtain a (not really good) approximation to $\\pi$ by counting how many times, on average $X^2 + Y^2$ is smaller than 1"
