Number and the PI Revelation

Search for numbers in the digits of π

Goal: Search for a 4-digit number in the Pi book, and show its position on the PeekSmith screen.

Step 1: New Project

Visit msedit.electricks.info
Start a New mini-app and connect PeekSmith.

Step 2: Paste This Code

				
					function main() {
  ps.connect();
  let input = "2024";
  let result = db.query("pi", input);
  ps.print(result);
}

Step 3: Upload and Watch

After uploading, your PeekSmith will show something like: “12345″

This means “2024” first appears at digit 12,345 in the decimal expansion of π!

What’s Happening?

db.query("pi", input) searches for a number (as string) inside the digits of π.
It returns the position where it first appears.

You can change the input value to any number (e.g. "3141", "7777", etc.).

Make It Interactive

Here’s a version that lets you enter digits using Atom’s buttons:

				
					let input = "";

function main() {
  ps.connect();
  ps.print("Type:");
}

function onEvent(e) {
  if (e.type === "click" && e.source === "atom:button") {
    if (e.value === "4") {
      input = input.slice(0, -1); // Backspace
    } else if (e.value === "5") {
      let pos = db.query("pi", input);
      ps.print(pos);
    } else {
      input += e.value;
      ps.print(input);
    }
  }
}
