# --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--

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

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_pi_decimal(5), 9)`)
}})
```

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

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_pi_decimal(10), 5)`)
}})
```

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

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_pi_decimal(22), 6)`)
}})
```

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

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_pi_decimal(39), 7)`)
}})
```

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

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_pi_decimal(76), 2)`)
}})
```

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

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_pi_decimal(384), 4)`)
}})
```

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

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_pi_decimal(601), 0)`)
}})
```

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

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_pi_decimal(1000), 9)`)
}})
```
