Problem #21

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 (ReadCircumference)

  • Prompts the user to enter the circumference (L) of a circle.
  • Reads and returns the circumference.

3. Area Calculation Function (CircleAreaByCircumference)

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

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

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

4. Output Function (PrintResult)

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

5. Program Execution (main())

  • Calls ReadCircumference() to get user input.
  • Calls CircleAreaByCircumference() to compute the circle's area.
  • Calls PrintResult() to display the result.
  • Returns 0 to indicate successful execution.

This structured explanation ensures clarity and ease of understanding.
