What's the symbol for pi to use it in the [expr] object?

maxobjects.com will bring up some externals which can

output pi - if you need it more accurate than possible

then you can use a variable (f$1) in your expr and feed

it the number.


I'm not sure what you're doing with expr, but it's probably a lot easier to use the js object for this. That way you can access the Javascript constant Math.PI in your expression.

This is only true if you are as fluid in javascript as in Max -

Math.PI will eat up 7 characters, 3.141593 will eat 8, but as you need 

some other lines of code in js, you need a lot more characters. If you 

use my "pi" abhaXion, you need only 2 plus one patch chord... ;-)

wait, its obviously not true:

expr's interface to the outside world is 32-bit floats (and integers). So 3.141593 is as close as you're gonna get anyway.

[expr 22. / 7.] should be good enough for anybody.

Actually, [expr 355. / 113.] looks to be as close as makes no odds in

i'll just use the value inside expr. though it would be easier if there existed a symbol for it. like "p" for instance. maybe there's a good reason for not using this?

i'm not into the js object, yet..

Inside gen~ there is a 'pi' object. Connect it to out of gen~, connect gen~ to snapshot~, connect snaphot~ to expr ; )

You could use maxurl to Google "circumference of the sun", and then... :)

The symbol used by mathematicians to represent the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter is the 

 Greek letter π, sometimes spelled out as pi, and derived from the first letter of the Greek word perimetros, meaning circumference. In English, π is pronounced as "pie"

ah. found it;-) http://3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592.com/index314159.html

sending a bang to object "acos" with value "-1": 

the same can be used with "e" value using "exp(1)" in "expr" object...

I found 2 ways of obtaining pi value:
sending a bang to object "acos" with value "-1": 
[acos -1]
using "acos" in expr:
[expr acos(-1)]
the same can be used with "e" value using "exp(1)" in  "expr" object...

in disregard of what everyone said 14 years ago - including me - of course INSIDE [expr] you can gain a lot of extra accuracy in 32 bit (-data) max when you either calculate it using acos(), asin() or use at least 11 digits.
