The value of Pi has changed?  Yikes!  Good thing I put

#define PI 3.14159

in stdio.h.  :-)

"The primary purpose of the DATA statement is to give names to constants. 
Instead of referring to pi as 3.141592653589793 at every appearance, the 
variable PI can be given that value with a DATA statement and used instead 
of the longer form of the constant. This also simplifies modifying the 
program, should the value of pi change."
