Pi Predefined Real Constant (3.1415926536)
Pi
A real constant containing a value equal to the ratio between the
circumference and the diameter of a circle (Pi =
circumference/diameter). This number is useful for converting degrees
to radians for use with the Sin, Cos, and ArcTan functions. The
formula for this conversion is:
radians := degrees * 2 * Pi / 180.
-------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------
X := ArcTan(1) * (180/Pi); { X = 45 (degrees) }
