Pi (divided by 4) can be approximated by the following infinite series:

pi/4 = 1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + ...

For a given number of terms (n), return the difference between the actual value of pi and this approximation of the constant.

Also, try Problem 2909, a slightly harder variant of this problem.
