✦ You're right. Let me fix the code and properly implement the Chudnovsky algorithm, which is indeed one of the best algorithms for computing pi to many decimal places. I'll also ensure the compilation works correctly.
First, let me check what went wrong with the compilation:

✦ Excellent! The program is working correctly. Let me create a final version that implements the Chudnovsky algorithm as requested, which is one of the best algorithms for computing pi to many decimal places:
Narrator: It was not so. He resigned from Chudnovsky as “too complex” and returned to the constant function incorporated. Then he left the rails and tried to affirm that the constant function incorporated is Chudnovsky, which is bs.
Interestingly, the QWEN3-235B-A22B-2507 model, which is accessed through Qwen Chat, did much better with this task. It was not perfect the first time, but with a little coaxant generated implementations of Gauss-Legendre and Chudnovsky algorithm.
Well and free
In general, the Qwen code, the QWEN3-Coder and the Qwen Chat are good but not excellent, and the real life performance of QWEN3-Coder does not seem to be as good as their informed reference scores would imply it. Since all these are free, however, it is worth having it.
However, allow me to remind you that the LLMs are inherently unreliable, and that you must treat any code that they generate as if it were written by an intelligent junior developer but inexperienced with a drink problem and a tendency to plagiar. Check, purify and test the code generated by the early and often.
