Pi calculator

16 to the 0th power is one but your repeat block calculates it as 16 (because, well, repeating -1 times is just a skip over the code.)

the first term should be about 3.2

Scratch only has double floating point so you'll only get 15 or so digits of accuracy.


There is also a little problem with how you have snapped together the minus blocks.

I think this is the best you'll get from Scratch but one of the math people might have something better:
