pi is almost computed here to 3 digits, but that doesn't address how
many digits it is computable to. Note: the decimal point is in the
wrong place.

Pi is computed to 6 digits here, at least from what I can see, but again
fails to address how many digits it is computable to.
Pick a (finite) number of digits, and you can compute it to that many
digits.
