The "Math Constants" are not defined in Standard C/C++. Therefore, in order to use them, you have to first define _USE_MATH_DEFINES and then include cmath or math.h as below.
If compiling as C++:
#define _USE_MATH_DEFINES
#include <cmath>
If compiling as C:
#define _USE_MATH_DEFINES
#include <math.h>
