Modify code to calculate the area and perimeter of geometric figures

Question

Hello guys can anyone help modify my codes to calculate for the area and perimeter of the geometric figures in the code??The program should allow the user to go back to the menu after an invalid selection. The program should exit after 3 failed attempts.

Answer 2

EOK your code is fine. You just forgot to close a few lines with ; and you have some a stray { or }

If you look at the errors it actually tells you were the issues are in the code.

Answer 3

EOK You will need a while loop. And a variable to keep track of invalid answer. And increment the invalid count.

Answer 4

EOK my suggestions:
1. Create functions to calculate areas and perimeters for each shape
2. Input the shape selection in a for loop with 3 iterations
3. Use a switch statement to call the calculator function specific to the selected shape

Get used to dividing the code in small functions. This helps a lot in code maintainability.

Emerson Prado No worries they are still learning how it all works.

Answer 6

@Emerson Prado the one I've written just measures the area and has not menu to specify b/n whether to measure area or perimeter

Answer 7

@Emerson Prado the link below is the code I've written please

Answer 8

Thanks Chris Coder, but how do I modify to get the results I'm expecting.

Answer 9

Chris Coder Can you edit my code and rewrite if for me to suit the preference stated?...so that at least I can learn from it.

Answer 10

Sorry I can not write the code for you. But I did find someone else working on the problem. Perhaps you both can team up to help each other out.
