2. We're going to need to include an additional header file for this assignment, one for some
math functions we'll be using. So, include cmath and this #define before the other #include

file:
#define
_USE_MATH_DEFINES
//

C++
#include
<cmath>
And use the constant M_PI for in your equations.

4. You're going to write a small program that prompts the user to enter the radius of a circle,
followed by the length and the width of a rectangle, all in meters. Then, the program
computes the area of the circle, the area of the rectangle, and the total areas of the circle and
the rectangle.

5. We're going to need variables to store values that the user is going to type in. Inside main(),
declare
three
variables
of
type
double
for
radius,
width,
and
length.
If you aren't sure how to declare the variables, please refer to the textbook.

6. Remember how we used cout to write text output to the screen? When reading input, you
usually prompt the user with some text using cout. Then, you read the data that the user
responds
with
using
cin.
For
example,
here
is
what
you
do
for
radius:
cout
<<
"Please
enter
the
radius
of
a
circle:
";
cin
>>
radius;
Notice that there is a space after the colon and no endl at the end of the prompt line. This
means that when you run the program and are asked to enter a number, it will go on the
same line as the prompt. The Enter shown below in the output is from the user hitting
Enter!
Also note the direction of the << and >> for cout and cin!

7. Run the program to make sure you don't have any errors at this point. Adding a few lines
and running it to make sure there are not errors is called incremental development.

8. Now repeat

9. Next, declare three more variables at the top of the main() of type double to hold the
values your program needs to calculate for circle area, rectangle area, and the total area of
the two combined.

The
mathematical

to

are:

Your output should look like this: (Please copy and paste the text from these prompts into your

the

the
width
of

rectangle:
20
Please
enter
the
length
of

The
area
of
the
circle
is
314.159.
The
area
of
the
rectangle
is

The
combined
area
is

Part
II:
Adding
Circumference
and
Diagonal
Length
Now
we
will
further
incrementally
add
more
code
to
do
more!
1. Next, modify the program to calculate the circumference of the circle, the diagonal length of
the
rectangle,
and
the
difference
of
the
two
lengths.
2. Add three new variable declarations of type double to represent these 3 values.
3. Now, add the code to calculate the circumference of a circle, the diagonal length of
rectangle, and the difference of the two lengths. The mathematical formulas to calculate the
circumference
of
a
circle
and
the
diagonal
length
of
a
rectangle
are:

Sample Output: Your program will be tested with several input sets, including the one
shown here in RED. Your program must exactly match the words and format in this

based
on

numbers.

is

The

The
diagonal

of
the
rectangle
is
36.0555.
The

is

Grading
20% of your grade will be based on proper programming style, formatting, and comments. Although your
initial grade could be 80 out of 80, i.e. 80/80, the remaining 20 points are assignment by a TA. Good style is
described
throughout
the
text.
At
this
point,
the
most
important
things
are
that:

Use
descriptive
variable
names
Vertical (proper use of blank line mostly) and horizontal spacing (putting spaces around
operators,
indentation,
etc.)
o
Indent
properly
o Skip a line between each small section of your program, so that each section is
separated
by
a
blank
line,
Have a beginning comment that describes what the program is doing (just Homework 2 is not
good enough). See the main moodle page for what every program header needs to contain.
Each section (i.e. logicl chunk of code) begins with a comment describing what that section does,
so that the comments alone would provide an outline of the program (Its NOT good to follow
every
line
of
code
with
a
comment.)
Continue typing your code on the next line if it is too long. Too long is over 80 characters. In VS,
there is a column indicator at the bottom-right of the screen that tells you which column the cursor
is
at.
Note that this is a graded assignment and should be completed on an individual basis!!

Your
Work
To submit your work to Web-CAT to be graded. It will only be available on Web-CAT a few days before it is due, so
test your code on your own, i.e. make sure the output numbers are correct for a variety of input values.
