Constant primitive

[tjc_games]

Why do I have to use JS extensions to access pi?? Why can't I just have a primitive containing it?

theres the pi block in the animation library, if i remember correctly

There is actually a PI block in the animation library and the audio comp library, although this is the definition.

Wait, pi is a number, so why is it in the animation and audio comp libraries?

[ego-lay_atman-bay]

It's to make it more clear that that number is PI. The javascript constant is also just a number. The reason it's in those libraries, is because they use functions that use PI.

Ah, ok. Thanks.

This is a topic explaining how you can make a pi custom block without the rest of the animation library if your'e interested.

How to get pi without remembering the digits of pi!

You don't have to memorize the digits of Pi (π) to get the actual value. Just do this: [untitled script pic (25)] Then tada! You got the digits of pi. I'm not sure why this can happen but this is cool.

Also, pi is approximately equal to 22 over 7.

Yeah, and the last 2 posts of that topic are mine.

Or you could just make a block that reports 3.141592653589793
