Constants

PI = 3.14159265358979

Constant that represents how many times the diameter of a circle fits around its perimeter. This is equivalent to TAU / 2, or 180 degrees in rotations.

TAU = 6.28318530717959

The circle constant, the circumference of the unit circle in radians. This is equivalent to PI * 2, or 360 degrees in rotations.

INF = inf

Positive floating-point infinity. This is the result of floating-point division when the divisor is 0.0. For negative infinity, use -INF. Dividing by -0.0 will result in negative infinity if the numerator is positive, so dividing by 0.0 is not the same as dividing by -0.0 (despite 0.0 == -0.0 returning true).

Warning: Numeric infinity is only a concept with floating-point numbers, and has no equivalent for integers. Dividing an integer number by 0 will not result in INF and will result in a run-time error instead.

NAN = nan

"Not a Number", an invalid floating-point value. NAN has special properties, including that != always returns true, while other comparison operators always return false. This is true even when comparing with itself (NAN == NAN returns false and NAN != NAN returns true). It is returned by some invalid operations, such as dividing floating-point 0.0 by 0.0.
