PI()
Description
- This function gives the value of .
- The is a mathematical constant with a value approximate to 3.14159.
- It is denoted by the Greek letter .
- is commonly defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter .
- So , the ratio is constant, and it is not considering the circle's size.
- is a transcendental number and irrational number.
- Being an irrational number, cannot be expressed exactly as a ratio of any two integers .
- But we can express as the fraction is approximate to the value , also no fraction can be its exact value.
Examples
- Pi()=3.141592653589793
- Pi()/4=0.785398163
- Pi()/180=0.017453293
- Pi()/(22/7)=0.999597663
- Pi()*(5^2)=78.53981634(Area of circle with r=5)
- 2*Pi()*5=31.41592654(Circumference of a cidcle with r=5).
