How can I show a decimal in a text field?
I am creating a simple console application that shows the value of PI up to a certain number of decimals. For now, I have written the following code:
namespace PIApplication
{
static void Main()
{
decimal Pi = Math.PI;
Console.Writeline("Pi is {0}.", PI);
}
}
The reason I used {0}
is that I know that this method works when it comes to Booleans but I can only assume that the 0 should be changed to something else. Can someone explain how this would work in my case?
Furthermore, I am getting an error that the system can not convert type double to decimal. I assume that this refers 开发者_运维知识库to the value that is defined as PI. What would I have to do to convert it from one type to the other? Do I even have to?
Thanks in advance for all the help.
This is how the constant PI
is defined in System.Math
:
public const double PI = 3.14159
Try:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
double Pi = Math.PI;
Console.WriteLine("Pi is {0}.", Pi);
}
Decimal: Compared to floating-point types, the decimal type has a greater precision and a smaller range, which makes it suitable for financial and monetary calculations.
No need to store PI, unless you want to store it at a given precision.
int givenPrecision = 10;
Console.WriteLine("Pi is {0}.", Math.PI.ToString("0." + new String('#', givenPrecision)));
This will give 3.1415926536.
Explicitly convert??
namespace PIApplication{
static void Main()
{
decimal Pi = (decimal)Math.PI;
Console.Writeline("Pi is {0}.", Pi);
}
}
