There has been no absolute value computed, AFAIK. In fact they have gone out to several hunderd decimal places and have not found a precise number. Probably never will. Kinda like the largest prime number.
Edit: Make sure your speaker is on...

Sounds like a typical physics instructor.
Edit 2: to recite all the known digits of Pi (6.4 billion digits) would take 133 years with no pause for coffee or sleep.

i'm pretty sure they have an exact value. there is an exact value for everything such as e, sine, cosine, tangent.

The value is 22/7 but this will give decimal places to the Nth degree, as the others say, there is no exact value.. not all things in life have an answer!!

Its called an irrational number, and just like trying to express 1/3 in decimals, it simply cannot be done using our standard 10 digit decimal system, no matter how many digits you stick after the decimal point.

Irrational numbers are numbers that neither terminate nor become periodic. Pi is indeed an irrational number. 1/3 however is not. It only meets one of the criteria and thats that it doesn't terminate. It does however repeat itself. Irrational numbers also cannot be expressed in fractions.
