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.PIis defined as3.141592653589793238for precise calculations.- The division by
4πensures 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
0to indicate successful execution.
This structured explanation ensures clarity and ease of understanding.
