Pi(π) in C++ with Examples

In this article, we will discuss some of the mathematical function which is used to derived the value of Pi(π) in C++.

Method 1: Using acos() function:
Approach:

The value of Π is calculated using acos() function which returns a numeric value between [-Π, Π].
Since using acos(0.0) will return the value for Π/2. Therefore to get the value of Π:
```
double pi = 2*acos(0.0);
```
Now the value obtained from above equation is estimated as:
```
printf("%f\n", pi);
```

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

// C++ program for the above approach 
  
#include "bits/stdc++.h" 
using namespace std; 
  
// Function that prints the 
// value of pi 
void printValueOfPi() 
{ 
  
    // Find value of pi using 
    // acos() function 
    double pi = 2 * acos(0.0); 
  
    // Print value of pi 
    printf("%f\n", pi); 
} 
  
// Driver Code 
int main() 
{ 
    // Function that prints 
    // the value of pi 
    printValueOfPi(); 
    return 0; 
} 

Output:

3.141593

Method 2: Using asin() function:
Approach:

The value of Π is calculated using asin() function which returns a numeric value between [-Π, Π].
Since using asin(1.0) will return the value for Π/2. Therefore to get the value of Π:
```
double pi = 2*asin(1.0);
```
Now the value obtained from above equation is estimated as:
```
printf("%f\n", pi);
```

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

// C++ program for the above approach 
  
#include "bits/stdc++.h" 
using namespace std; 
  
// Function that prints the 
// value of pi 
void printValueOfPi() 
{ 
  
    // Find value of pi using 
    // asin() function 
    double pi = 2 * asin(1.0); 
  
    // Print value of pi 
    printf("%f\n", pi); 
} 
  
// Driver Code 
int main() 
{ 
    // Function that prints 
    // the value of pi 
    printValueOfPi(); 
    return 0; 
} 

Output:

3.141593

Method 3: Using inbuilt constant value define in the “cmath” library:
The value of Pi(π) can directly written using the constant stored in cmath library. The name of the constant is M_PI. Below is the program for printing the value of Pi:

// C++ program for the above approach 
#include "cmath" 
#include "iostream" 
using namespace std; 
  
// Function that prints the 
// value of pi 
void printValueOfPi() 
{ 
    // Print value of pi 
    printf("%f\n", M_PI); 
} 
  
// Driver Code 
int main() 
{ 
    // Function that prints 
    // the value of pi 
    printValueOfPi(); 
    return 0; 
} 

Output:

3.141593
