===Spigot algorithm===
The EDSAC program to calculate pi by means of a spigot algorithm is easily modified to calculate e. It will then output 2070 correct digits of e (though it outputs only 252 correct digits of pi). Details will be found under the task "Pi".
<lang edsac>
[Code not given, as it is almost the same as the EDSAC spigot algorithm for pi.
See the task "Pi" for the EDSAC program and the changes needed to calculate e.]
