Problem #19

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 use pow() for exponentiation ().
  • using namespace std; allows the use of standard functions without prefixing them with std::.

2. User Input Function (ReadDiameter)

  • Prompts the user to enter the diameter (D) of a circle.
  • Reads and returns the diameter.

3. Area Calculation Function (CircleAreaByDiameter)

  • Takes the diameter (D) as input.
  • Uses the formula for the area of a circle in terms of diameter:

  • This is implemented as:
float Area = (pow(D, 2) * PI) / 4;

    • pow(D, 2) calculates .
    • PI is defined as 3.141592653589793238 for precise calculations.
    • The division by 4 ensures correct computation of the area using the given formula.
  • Returns the computed area.

4. Output Function (PrintResult)

  • Receives the computed area as a parameter.
  • Prints "Circle Area = [Area]".

5. Program Execution (main())

  • Calls ReadDiameter() to get user input.
  • Calls CircleAreaByDiameter() to compute the area.
  • Calls PrintResult() to display the result.
  • Returns 0 to indicate successful execution.

This structured explanation ensures clarity and ease of understanding.
