Math constants return constant values that are properties of the Math object.
Math Object Constants
The following table lists constant values that are properties of the Math object.
| Constant | Description | Approximate value |
|---|---|---|
Math.E |
The mathematical constant e. This is Euler's number, the base of natural logarithms. | 2.718 |
Math.LN2 |
The natural logarithm of 2. | 0.693 |
Math.LN10 |
The natural logarithm of 10. | 2.302 |
Math.LOG2E |
The base-2 logarithm of e. | 1.443 |
Math.LOG10E |
The base-10 logarithm of e. | 0.434 |
Math.PI |
Pi. This is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. | 3.14159 |
Math.SQRT1_2 |
The square root of 0.5, or, equivalently, one divided by the square root of 2. | 0.707 |
Math.SQRT2 |
The square root of 2. | 1.414 |
Example
The following example illustrates how to use the Math.PI constant.
var radius = 3;
var area = Math.PI * radius * radius;
document.write(area);
// Output: 28.274333882308138
