Yes, I know. This is not meant to be a shortcut to pi. It just shows that the program runs fine with 34-digit Free42.

But then... I think I remember a 12C program where two 7-digit constants were used to generate a 10-digit number... #-)

?!? – 355/113 = 3,14159292... which agrees with pi in exactly 7 significant digits. Both truncated (3,141592) and rounded (3,141593).
The 8th significant digit is 3 units off.
