<p>
When using the math constants at your chosen fixed precision in non-template
code, you can simply add a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">using</span> <span class="keyword">namespace</span></code> declaration, for example, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">using</span> <span class="keyword">namespace</span>
<span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">double_constants</span></code>, to make the constants
of the correct precision for your code visible in the current scope, and
then use each constant <span class="emphasis"><em>as a simple variable - sans brackets</em></span>:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="preprocessor">#include</span> <span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">constants</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">constants</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">></span>
<span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">area</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">r</span><span class="special">)</span>
<span class="special">{</span>
<span class="keyword">using</span> <span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">double_constants</span><span class="special">;</span>
<span class="keyword">return</span> <span class="identifier">pi</span> <span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">r</span> <span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">r</span><span class="special">;</span>
<span class="special">}</span>
</pre>
<p>
Had our function been written as taking a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">float</span></code>
rather than a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span></code>, we could
have written instead:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="preprocessor">#include</span> <span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">constants</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">constants</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">></span>
<span class="keyword">float</span> <span class="identifier">area</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">float</span> <span class="identifier">r</span><span class="special">)</span>
<span class="special">{</span>
<span class="keyword">using</span> <span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">float_constants</span><span class="special">;</span>
<span class="keyword">return</span> <span class="identifier">pi</span> <span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">r</span> <span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">r</span><span class="special">;</span>
<span class="special">}</span>
</pre>
<p>
Likewise, constants that are suitable for use at <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">long</span>
<span class="keyword">double</span></code> precision are available in
the namespace <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">long_double_constants</span></code>.
</p>
<p>
You can see the full list of available constants at <a class="link" href="../constants.html" title="The Mathematical Constants">math_toolkit.constants</a>.
</p>
<p>
Some examples of using constants are at <a href="../../../../example/constants_eg1.cpp" target="_top">constants_eg1</a>.
