constant ()

The constant () block is a reporter block in Extra Mathematics that reports the value of various constants.

Dropdown

Constant	Notes	Default
π	Reports pi (the ratio of a circle's circumference to it's diameter)	Yes
τ	Reports tau (2 times pi)	No
ϕ	Reports phi (the golden ratio, or (1 + sqrt(5))/2)
e	Reports euler's number (e)

Workaround

This block can be worked around by using exact values for each constant. e can be replicated by using the existing e reporter block, or by using the () of () operators block with e^ selected and 1 as the number. π can be replicated by using the π reporter block. τ can be replicated by multiplying the result of the π option by 2. Variables can be used if the values are used in multiple places in the code.
