Hi Anthony!
Its very easy to get the value of π. As π is a floating point number declare a long variable then assign 'pi' to that long variable you will get the value.
Eg:-
format long
p=pi

That is what @Geoff Hayes suggested years before. But it does not enter π into the calculation, only an approximation of π

Anthony - use pi which returns the floating-point number nearest the value of π. So in your code, you could do something like
sin(pi)

Attached is code to compute Ramanujan's formula for pi, voted the ugliest formula of all time.
.
Actually I think it's amazing that something analytical that complicated and with a variety of operations (addition, division, multiplication, factorial, square root, exponentiation, and summation) could create something as "simple" as pi.
Unfortunately it seems to get to within MATLAB's precision after just one iteration - I'd have like to see how it converges as afunction of iteration (summation term). (Hint: help would be appreciated.)

As I recall, these approximations tend to give a roughly fixed number of digits per term. I'll do it using HPF, but syms would also work.
DefaultNumberOfDigits 500
n = 10;
piterms = zeros(n+1,1,'hpf');
f = sqrt(hpf(2))*2/9801*hpf(factorial(0));
piterms(1) = f*1103;
hpf396 = hpf(396)^4;
for k = 1:n
hpfk = hpf(k);
f = f*(4*hpfk-3)*(4*hpfk-2)*(4*hpfk-1)*4/(hpfk^3)/hpf396;
piterms(k+1) = f*(1103 + 26390*hpfk);
end
piapprox = 1./cumsum(piterms);
pierror = double(hpf('pi') - piapprox))
pierror =
-7.6424e-08
-6.3954e-16
-5.6824e-24
-5.2389e-32
-4.9442e-40
-4.741e-48
-4.5989e-56
-4.5e-64
-4.4333e-72
-4.3915e-80
-4.3696e-88
So roughly 8 digits per term in this series. Resetting the default number of digits to used to 1000, then n=125, so a total of 126 terms in the series, we can pretty quickly get a 1000 digit approximation to pi:
pierror = hpf('pi') - piapprox(end + [-3:0])
pierror =
HPF array of size: 4 1
|1,1| -1.2060069282720814803655e-982
|2,1| -1.25042729756426e-990
|3,1| -1.296534e-998
|4,1| -8.e-1004
So as you see, it generates a very reliable 8 digits per term in the sum.

I also ran it for 100000 digits, so 12500 terms. It took a little more time, but was entirely possible to compute. I don't recall which similar approximation I used some time ago, but I once used it to compute 1 million or so digits of pi in HPF. HPF currently stores a half million digits as I recall.
As far as understanding how to derive that series, I would leave that to Ramanujan, and only hope he is listening on on this.

If you are constructing an equation using the symbolic toolbox use sym('pi')

That's correct. There are four different conversion techniques the sym function uses to determine how to convert a number into a symbolic expression. The default is the 'r' flag which as the documentation states "converts floating-point numbers obtained by evaluating expressions of the form p/q, p*pi/q, sqrt(p), 2^q, and 10^q (for modest sized integers p and q) to the corresponding symbolic form."
The value returned by the pi function is "close enough" to p*pi/q (with p and q both equal to 1) for that conversion technique to recognize it as π. If you wanted the numeric value of the symbolic π to some number of decimal places use vpa.
p = sym(pi)
vpa(p, 30)

p=PI
If you meant
p=pi
then @Vignesh Shetty suggested exactly that https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/303687-how-to-input-pi#comment_822235 several years ago, which in turn is functionally equivalent to what @Geoff Hayes suggested in 2016 https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/303687-how-to-input-pi#answer_235320
