As explained, otherwise it'll be integer
division. But I think that qualifies as a hack
(not an ugly hack tho) so there is no shame in
spotting it an "error" :)

(diameter) directly in computing
the circumference.

Right!

* It never occurred to me to do this in Lisp.
I always just use an online calculator, like:

Let's agree there is no need to do it in Lisp.
Only a desire :)


Why make things complicated? I do such stuff with spreadsheets. That's what they were invented for. Part of every office software including free ones.
