Remark: This article describes the BASIC command π in BASIC V2 at the Commodore 64.
Type: Constant General Programming-Syntax: π
Pi or π is a special numerical BASIC V2 constant with the value of 3.14159265.
This constant is attributed with the fastest possible evaluation of an expression consisting of a single value (even faster as "." as a degenerated writing for a zero). This can be useful for functions with a dummy parameter which have to be evaluated anyway (e.g. the POS display function).
Examples[edit | edit source]
