 FASCINATING!!
 First off, there were some problems with the logic of the program.
 You didn't use braces around some of the else deals so that program
 control didn't flow as I suppose you expected.  But that's not what
 was so interesting.
 MR> float pi;
 
 MR> cout << "\n\tPlease enter pi ie:-3.142  ";
 MR> cin >> pi;
 MR> if(pi  3.142 )
 MR> {
 MR>   cout << "\n\tWrong Formula";
 MR>   continue;
 MR> }
 When I ran this thing, I would type in 3.142 and the program thinks that 
 pi is either less than 3.142 or greater than 3.142. 
 There are two ways to make it work right.  One is to declare pi to be a 
 double.  The other is to cast your numeric constants to floats.
 So the following will (consistently?) work
 if (pi  (float)3.142)
 {
    ...
 }
 I would love to hear a good explanation as to why 
 3.142(double) != 3.142(float)
