The number π is a mathematical constant, the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, commonly approximated as 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter “π” since the mid-18th century, though it is also sometimes spelled out as “pi” (/paɪ/).

The code snippet below show you how to obtain the PI value in Java. We use the Math.PI static field to get the value of PI.

package org.kodejava.math;

public class GetPiExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // The PI value represented by Math.PI
        System.out.println("PI = " + Math.PI);

        // Using the Math.PI to calculate area of a circle.
        double radius = 8;
        double circleArea = Math.PI * Math.pow(radius, 2);
        System.out.println("Circle Area = " + circleArea);
    }
}

Here is the program output:

PI = 3.141592653589793
Circle Area = 201.06192982974676
