Cylinder Volume

Write a C++ program to calculate the volume of a cylinder.

Visual Presentation:

Sample Solution:

C++ Code :

#include <iostream> // Including the input-output stream header file

using namespace std; // Using the standard namespace

int main() // Start of the main function
{
    int rad1, hgt; // Declaring variables to store cylinder's radius and height
    float volcy; // Declaring variable to store the volume of the cylinder

    // Outputting messages to prompt the user to input the radius and height of the cylinder
    cout << "\n\n Calculate the volume of a cylinder :\n";
    cout << "-----------------------------------------\n";
    cout << " Input the radius of the cylinder : ";
    cin >> rad1; // Reading the radius input from the user
    cout << " Input the height of the cylinder : ";
    cin >> hgt; // Reading the height input from the user

    // Calculating the volume of the cylinder using the formula: volume = π * radius^2 * height
    volcy = (3.14 * rad1 * rad1 * hgt);

    // Outputting the calculated volume of the cylinder
    cout << " The volume of a cylinder is : " << volcy << endl;
    cout << endl;

    return 0; // Return statement indicating successful completion of the program
}

Sample Output:

 Calculate the volume of a cylinder :                                  
-----------------------------------------                              
 Input the radius of the cylinder : 4                                  
 Input the height of the cylinder : 8                                  
 The volume of a cylinder is : 401.92
