Problem #18
Solution Source Code
Code Overview
1. Header Files and Namespace:
<iostream>
is included for input and output operations.<string>
is included for potential future use (not used in this program).<cmath>
is included to usepow()
for exponentiation (R²
).using namespace std;
allows the use of standard functions without prefixing them withstd::
.
2. User Input Function (ReadRadius
)
- Prompts the user to enter the radius (R) of a circle.
- Reads and returns the radius.
3. Area Calculation Function (CircleArea
)
- Takes the radius (R) as input.
- Uses the standard formula for the area of a circle:
float Area = pow(R, 2) * PI;
pow(R, 2)
calculatesR²
.PI
is defined as3.141592653589793238
for precise calculations.
- Returns the computed area.
4. Output Function (PrintResult
)
- Receives the computed area as a parameter.
- Prints
"Circle Area = [Area]"
.
5. Program Execution (main()
)
- Calls
ReadRadius()
to get user input. - Calls
CircleArea()
to compute the area. - Calls
PrintResult()
to display the result. - Returns
0
to indicate successful execution.
