Hello all,
I have tried unsuccessfully to create program using a header file, implemenation file, document file, and driver program that compute the area of a circle given only the radius. I was told to use the header file for the function header only and the implementation file for the actual code. Can someone explain to me what I did wrong. Here is the code;
header file.h
Code:
/* area.h provides an interface for a library of the area of a circle.
***************************************************************/
#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
const double PI = 3.14159;
double radius;
double area(double radius, const double PI)
{
return PI * pow(radius, 2);
}
implementation file.cpp
Code:
/* area.cpp converts a given radius of a circle to the area of a circle.
* using function area() that is stored in the library area.
*
* Input: Radius of a circle
* Output: Area of a circle
**************************************************************/
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include "area.h"
#include <cmath>
int main()
{
double radius, area1;
cout << "This program converts a given radius of a circle\n"
<< "to the area of a circle.\n";
cout << "\nEnter the length of your radius: ";
cin >> radius;
area1 = area(radius,PI);
cout << "A radius length of: " << radius <<"," << "\nusing the correct equation converts to an area of: "
<< area1 << endl;
}
driver
Code:
/*driver.cpp test the functions and constants in area.h .
*
*********************************************************/
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
#include "area.h"
#include <cmath>
double area(double radius, const double PI);
int main()
{
cout << "2 => " << area(2, PI) << "\n";
cout << "4 => " << area(4, PI) <<"\n";
}
It works the way that I made it, however, i was told to I was told to use the header file for the function header only and the implementation file for the actual code. I am lost.
