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 usepow()
for exponentiation (L²
).using namespace std;
allows the use of standard functions without prefixing them withstd::
.
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)
calculatesL²
.PI
is defined as3.141592653589793238
for precise calculations.- The division by
4π
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.
