# pi

The mathematical constant pi (π), approximately equal to 3.14159.

## Declaration

```swift
static var pi: Self { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion When measuring an angle in radians, π is equivalent to a half-turn. This value is rounded toward zero to keep user computations with angles from inadvertently ending up in the wrong quadrant. A type that conforms to the FloatingPoint protocol provides the value for pi at its best possible precision. print(Double.pi) // Prints "3.14159265358979"
