Xi'an's Og

I fought with my L^αT_εX compiler this morning as it did not want to deal with my code:

[sourcecode language=”latex” gutter=”false”]
\begin{algorithmic}[1]
\STATE N=1000
\STATE $\hat\pi=0$
\FOR {I=1,N}
\STATE X=RDN(1), Y=RDN(1)
\IF {$\text{X}^2+\text{Y}^2<1$}
$\hat\pi$ = $\hat\pi +1$
\ENDIF
\ENDFOR
\RETURN 4*$\hat\pi/$N
\end{algorithmic}
[/sourcecode]

looking on forums for incompatibilities between beamer and algorithmic, and adding all kinds of packages, to no avail. Until I realised one \STATE was missing:

[sourcecode language=”latex” gutter=”false”]
\begin{algorithmic}[1]
\STATE N=1000
\STATE $\hat\pi=0$
\FOR {I=1,N}
\STATE X=RDN(1), Y=RDN(1)
\IF {$\text{X}^2+\text{Y}^2<1$}
\STATE $\hat\pi$ = $\hat\pi +1$
\ENDIF
\ENDFOR
\RETURN 4*$\hat\pi/$N
\end{algorithmic}
[/sourcecode]

(This is connected with my AMSI public lecture on simulation, obviously!)
