The [[_PI]] function returns '''π''' as a [[_FLOAT]] value with an optional multiplier parameter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{PageSyntax}}
|
|
: {{Parameter|circumference}} = [[_PI]][({{Parameter|multiplier}})]
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{PageParameters}}
|
|
* Optional {{Parameter|multiplier}} (''2 * radius'' in above syntax) allows multiplication of the π value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{PageDescription}}
|
|
* Function can be used in to supply π or multiples in a program.
|
|
* Accuracy is determined by the return variable type [[AS]] [[SINGLE]], [[DOUBLE]] or [[_FLOAT]].
|
|
* The π value can also be derived using 4 * [[ATN]](1) for a [[SINGLE]] value.
