Did you know that 355/113 is an extremely close approximation of π? It's accurate to the first 6 decimal places.
That's accurate enough for most everyday uses except the most demanding scientific and engineering purposes.
Why should i use that instead of math.pi?
If you're using an embedded version of Python that's missing the
mathmodule. Because somebody couldn't be bothered to fix the floating point math in C for platforms that don't have an FPU 🤷
