How do toothpicks approximate the value of pi? I'll show you by coding a simulation in p5.js!
Challenges
Featured Challenge:
#187 — Bayesian Text Classification
In this coding challenge, I struggle my way through implementing a Naive Bayes text classifier in JavaScript using p5.js. I explain Bayes' theorem, demonstrate word frequency analysis, implement Laplacian smoothing, and build a working sentiment classifier that runs entirely in the browser.

Pi approximation
Let's celebrate PI Day by approximating the digits of Pi using a special location in the legendary Mandelbrot set fractal!
In this coding challenge, I use the Leibniz formula (aka infinite series) to approximate the digits of Pi and graph the convergence.
In this coding challenge, I use use a "monte carlo" method to approximate the value of Pi in Processing (Java).
