Description

Another PI program. This one allows you to get PI for any number of decimal places up to 1000. It doesn't calculate PI, it is hard coded in! All you do is pass the number of decimal places required.

More Info

Pass a number between 1 and 1000 and the function will return PI to that many decimal places.

This is a function. Put in a code module.

Any questions contact at me at codecommandos.com or visit my web site www.codecommandos.com .

Pi with the number of decimal places that the user requested.

None (just my tired fingers ;-)
