Get PI


Visual Basic 6, or VB Classic

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.

Original Author: Ramon_Morales

Inputs

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

Assumptions

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 .

Returns

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

Side Effects

None (just my tired fingers ;-)

Code

Function GetPi(iLengthOfPI As Integer) As String

'decimal places. It does not calculate Pi, there is a hard
'coded string and ther result is parsed based on the requested
'number of decimal places.
