            ak = ak1;
            sk = sk1;

    public static void main (String[] args) 
    {
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("Cubic Convergence 1/Pi Algorithm Test\n");
        /** Make an object of CubicConvergence class **/
        CubicConvergencePi  cc = new CubicConvergencePi ();
 
        System.out.println("Enter number of iterations");
        int k = scan.nextInt();
 
        System.out.println("\nValue of 1/pi : "+ cc.getOneByPi(k));
    }
}

Output:
