PI Constant value using MySQL query

PI() function: π

SELECT PI()

Output is 3.141593

This is a mathematical constant (π) and the value displayed by MySQL is for 7 digits after decimal but internaly stores double-precision value of PI.

PI() with DEGREES()

DEGREES function converts radian to degree.

SELECT DEGREES(PI()); // Output is 180
SELECT DEGREES(PI()/2); // Output is 90
SELECT DEGREES(PI()/3); // Output is 59.99999

PI with SIN() COS()

We can get sine of any value in radians by using sin(), note that sin(x) takes input in redian. Value of x is in redian.

SELECT SIN(PI()); // Output is 1.2246467991473532e-16

We can use use ROUND Function to rounds to output

SELECT ROUND(SIN(PI())); // Output is 0 
SELECT ROUND(SIN(PI()/2)); // Output is 1

We will allow some decimal places to be shown as the value of SIN varies between 0 and 1.

SELECT ROUND( SIN( PI( ) /3 ), 3 ) //Output is 0.866 
SELECT ROUND( SIN( PI( ) /4 ) , 4 ) // Output is 0.7071

We can try COS values

SELECT ROUND( COS( PI( ) /3 ), 3 ) //Output is  0.500
SELECT ROUND( COS( PI( ) /2 ), 3 ) // Output is 0.000
