Abstract

   CSPICE_TWOPI returns the value of the constant 2*pi.

I/O

   The call:

      [twopi] = cspice_twopi

   returns:

      twopi    twice the value of pi (the ratio of a circle's circumference
               to its diameter), determined by the acos function.

               [1,1] = size(twopi); double = class(twopi)

               That is,

                     twopi = acos ( -1.0 ) * 2.0;

Parameters

   None.

Examples

   Any numerical results shown for this example may differ between
   platforms as the results depend on the SPICE kernels used as input
   and the machine specific arithmetic implementation.

   1) The following code example returns the double precision value of
      the constant 2*PI and prints it out.

      Example code begins here.


      function twopi_ex1()

         %
         % Print the double precision value of 2*Pi
         %
         fprintf( '2*Pi: %25.22f\n', cspice_twopi )


      When this program was executed on a Mac/Intel/Octave6.x/64-bit
      platform, the output was:


      2*Pi:  6.2831853071795862319959

Particulars

   as shown above. The value is saved, and returned directly upon
   subsequent reference.

Exceptions

   Error free.

Version

   -Mice Version 1.1.0, 25-AUG-2021 (EDW) (JDR)

       Edited the header to comply with NAIF standard. Added
       example's meta-kernel and reformatted example's output.

       Added -Parameters, -Particulars, -Exceptions, -Files, -Restrictions,
       -Literature_References and -Author_and_Institution sections.

       Eliminated use of "lasterror" in rethrow.

       Removed reference to the function's corresponding CSPICE header from
       -Required_Reading section.
