Your PI definition shouldn't have the assignment operator:

 #define PI = 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716

should be

 #define PI 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716

Hi everyone,

I was really close to successfully compiling a code of mine, when I ran into
this error:

"expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before "=" token"

in lines 126-129 (with ms1, ms2, ms3, ms4 assignments).  What does it mean
and how can I fix it?
