# G for Lanczos Approximation > Arbitrary constant `g` to be used in Lanczos approximation functions.

## Usage ```javascript var FLOAT64_GAMMA_LANCZOS_G = require( '@stdlib/constants/float64/gamma-lanczos-g' ); ``` #### FLOAT64_GAMMA_LANCZOS_G Arbitrary constant `g` to be used in [Lanczos approximation][lanczos-approximation] functions. ```javascript var bool = ( FLOAT64_GAMMA_LANCZOS_G === 10.900511 ); // returns true ```

## Examples ```javascript var FLOAT64_GAMMA_LANCZOS_G = require( '@stdlib/constants/float64/gamma-lanczos-g' ); console.log( FLOAT64_GAMMA_LANCZOS_G ); // => 10.900511 ```
