Leibniz series with newton raphson loop

Jon15 (151)
I need to write a program that asks the user for the desired accuracy that they wish to calculate pi to. I am stuck on how to use the newton-raphson technique and how to use the accuracy as .001 or .0001 etc.

 #include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	double acc;
	int i;
	double pi;


cout<<"This program will calculate the value of pi to the desired accuracy"<<endl
	<<"Please input the desired accuracy. (i.e. .001, .0001 etc."<<endl;
	cin>>acc;
	system("cls");

	for (i = 1; i<= 100000; i+2)

		pi = 4*(1/i);
	
	cout<<pi<<endl;

	system("Pause");
	return 0;
}

This is what i have without using the 'newton-raphson' technique, why isn't it working?

	cout<<pi<<endl;

	}

	while(abs(pie - pi) > acc);
	



	system("Pause");
	return 0;
}

Oh, how do i apply a series to the equation for pi?
