PI()

Description

• This function gives the value of pi.
• The pi is a mathematical constant with a value approximate to 3.14159.
• It is denoted by the Greek letter $\Pi$.
• $\Pi$ is commonly defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference C to its diameter d.
• So $\Pi ={\frac {C}{d}}$, the ratio ${\frac {C}{d}}$ is constant, and it is not considering the circle's size.
• $\Pi$ is a transcendental number and irrational number.
• Being an irrational number,$\Pi$ cannot be expressed exactly as a ratio of any two integers .
• But we can express as the fraction <math>\frac {22}{7} is approximate to the π value , also no fraction can be its exact value.

Examples

1. Pi()=3.141592653589793
2. Pi()/4=0.785398163
3. Pi()/180=0.017453293
4. Pi()/(22/7)=0.999597663
5. Pi()*(5^2)=78.53981634(Area of circle with r=5)
6. 2*Pi()*5=31.41592654(Circumference of a cidcle with r=5).
