# --description--

Happy pi (π) day!

Given an integer (`n`), where `n` is between 1 and 1000 (inclusive), return the `n`th decimal of π.

- Make sure to return a number not a string.

π with its first five decimals is 3.14159. So given `5` for example, return `9`, the fifth decimal.

You may have to find the first 1000 decimals of π somewhere.

# --hints--

`getPiDecimal(5)` should return `9`.

```js
assert.strictEqual(getPiDecimal(5), 9);
```

`getPiDecimal(10)` should return `5`.

```js
assert.strictEqual(getPiDecimal(10), 5);
```

`getPiDecimal(22)` should return `6`.

```js
assert.strictEqual(getPiDecimal(22), 6);
```

`getPiDecimal(39)` should return `7`.

```js
assert.strictEqual(getPiDecimal(39), 7);
```

`getPiDecimal(76)` should return `2`.

```js
assert.strictEqual(getPiDecimal(76), 2);
```

`getPiDecimal(384)` should return `4`.

```js
assert.strictEqual(getPiDecimal(384), 4);
```

`getPiDecimal(601)` should return `0`.

```js
assert.strictEqual(getPiDecimal(601), 0);
```

`getPiDecimal(1000)` should return `9`.

```js
assert.strictEqual(getPiDecimal(1000), 9);
```
