Problem #17
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).using namespace std;allows the use of standard functions without prefixing them withstd::.
2. User Input Function (ReadNumbers)
- Uses reference parameters (
float &A, float &H) to modify the values directly. - Prompts the user to enter the base (A) and height (H) of a triangle.
3. Area Calculation Function (TriangleArea)
- Takes the base (A) and height (H) as input.
- Uses the standard formula for the area of a triangle:
- However, the formula is implemented as:
float Area = (A / 2) * H;
- This correctly computes the area.
4. Output Function (PrintResult)
- Receives the computed area as a parameter.
- Prints
"Triangle Area = [Area]".
5. Program Execution (main())
- Declares two float variables (
A, H) to store base and height. - Calls
ReadNumbers()to get user input. - Calls
TriangleArea()to compute the area. - Calls
PrintResult()to display the result. - Returns
0to indicate successful execution.
This structured explanation ensures clarity and ease of understanding.
