Pi PowerScript function

Multiplies pi by a specified number.

<span>Pi</span> ( <span>n</span> )

1	<span>Pi</span> ( <span>n</span> )

Argument	Description
n	The number you want to multiply by pi (3.14159265358979323…)

Double. Returns the result of multiplying n by
pi if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If n is null, Pi returns null.

Use Pi to convert angles to and from radians.

This statement returns pi:

<span>Pi</span>(1)

1	<span>Pi</span>(1)

Both these statements return the area of a circle
with the radius id_Rad, an instance
variable of type double:

<span>Pi</span>(1) * id_Rad^2

1	<span>Pi</span>(1) * id_Rad^2

<span>Pi</span>(id_Rad^2)

1	<span>Pi</span>(id_Rad^2)

The following statements compute the cosine of a
45-degree angle:

real degree = 45.0, cosine

1	real degree = 45.0, cosine

cosine = Cos(degree * (<span>Pi</span>(2)/360))

1	cosine = Cos(degree * (<span>Pi</span>(2)/360))
