                bPositive = True

## Mathematical constant

Pi | Double | 3.14159265358979

### Example:

                Function Rad2Deg( aRad as Double) As Double
                 Rad2Deg = aRad * 180.00 / Pi
                End Function

## Object Constants

Name | Type | Lietojums:
Empty | Variant | The Empty value indicates that the variable is not initialized.
Null | null | Indicates that the variable does not contain data.
Nothing | Object | Assign the Nothing object to a variable to remove a previous assignment.

                SubExampleEmpty
                Dim sVar As Variant
                 sVar = Empty
                 Print IsEmpty(sVar) ' Returns True
                End Sub
                Sub ExampleNull
                Dim vVar As Variant
                 MsgBox IsNull(vVar)
                End Sub
                Sub ExampleNothing
                Dim oDoc As Object
                 Set oDoc = ThisComponent
                 Print oDoc.Title
                 oDoc = Nothing
                 Print oDoc ‘ Error
                End Sub
