In this part of the exam you will be designing and coding a Python program.
The sections of the exam correspond to the sections of a lab writeup.
Problem Statement:
One (very slow) way to calculate the value of pi is to compare the area of
the unit
quarter-circle with the area of the unit square. We can estimate this by
generating random points in the unit square, and counting how many lie
within the quarter-circle. The ratio should approximate pi/4 as the number of
points increases.
Write a function circle_pi(count, freq) that uses count
points to estimate pi, printing out estimates every freq iterations
(to show its progress).
Write a testbed program that calls your function, but saves the printed
output to a file instead of printing to the screen.
Docstrings are required for your program and your function; comments
are not required but may be helpful for partial credit if your code isn't
perfect.
