From: universato@... Date: 2021-01-12T22:38:57+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:102039] [Ruby master Feature#17496] Add constant Math::TAU Issue #17496 has been updated by universato (Yoshimine Sato). FYI https://processing.org/reference/TAU.html Processing may not be a general purpose language, but it has `TAU` and `TWO_PI` on its core. Processing has `TAU` since 2013. DOI: 10.14736/kyb-2016-6-0943 http://www.kybernetika.cz/content/2016/6/943 In this paper �� is used in the Gaussian density function. ---------------------------------------- Feature #17496: Add constant Math::TAU https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17496#change-89891 * Author: jzakiya (Jabari Zakiya) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- Excuse me if this has been brought up before. This is a simple proposal to add the math constant ``Math::TAU`` = 2*``Math::PI``. See: https://tauday.com/ ``TAU`` has been included in a growing number of languages (Rust, Python3, Julia, et al), and this would add Ruby to that list, and make it even cooler. :-) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
