Comments

Repeat s = s + Pi; s=1/s. The initial value of s is irrelevant.

Solves log(x+Pi) = -log(x). This equation represents the first (by absolute value) self-intersection of the spiral defined by the polar equation r=log(theta), and this constant is the smaller value of theta in the self-intersection. - Jeremy Tan, Sep 03 2016
