Pi Times () is a monadic scalar function which gives the argument times the mathematical constant . It shares the glyph with the dyadic arithmetic function Circular. The phrase "some value times " appears frequently in mathematical formulas related to a circle or trigonometric functions while raised to some power is rare, which explains the design decision behind this function.

Examples

The value of can be obtained by giving the argument of 1.
