Chapter 15 // Exercise 5 - Principles & Practice Using C++

In this exercise I am using Visual Studio 2017 and modified versions of the graphics files used throughout the chapters. You can find those versions through the link below.

Chapter 15 // Exercise 5

"Animate" (as in section 15.5) the series 1-1/3+1/5-1/7+1/9-1/11+.... It is known as Leibniz's series and converges to pi/4.

This took me a while to wrap my head around and I'm still not entirely convinced at how the lambda expression works but whatever.

So pi/4 == 0.7853989 (not precisely but you have to stop somewhere)

The problem with this exercise is that each frame looks identical as it gets closer to pi/4. Probably not the best function to graph. Either that or I've completely miscalculated.
