This isn't visible to end users, so don't know if this matters. It's already documented in the usage. I am not sure this meaningfully helps.

So I think we should expect folks to read the examples in addition to running them. That being said I don't think we need this comment specifically.

This is actually the first example on the spark doc and I wanted to know how the pi calculation was done. There was no mention of what algorithm is used for it, so took me a while to figure out the Monte-Carlo estimator was used and the logic is randomly generating over 100000 points to finally estimate the Pi value.

Thanks for helping out with the Spark project, it's great to see folks looking to improve the examples :) I'm not sure the in-line comment adds much, but the docstring one looks like a good minor improvement :) |
