JavaScript: Volume of a Hemisphere

JavaScript Math: Exercise-64 with Solution

Volume of a Hemisphere

Write a JavaScript program to calculate the volume of a Hemisphere.

Hemisphere refers to a half of a sphere:
A sphere is a geometrical object that is a three-dimensional analogue to a two-dimensional circle. A sphere is the set of points that are all at the same distance r from a given point in three-dimensional space.[2] That given point is the centre of the sphere, and r is the sphere's radius. The earliest known mentions of spheres appear in the work of the ancient Greek mathematicians.

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

// Define a function volume_Hemisphere that calculates the volume of a hemisphere given its radius.
const volume_Hemisphere = (radius) => {
  // Check if the radius is a number and positive.
  is_Number(radius, 'Radius');
  // Return the volume of the hemisphere.
  return (2.0 * Math.PI * radius ** 3) / 3.0;
}

// Define a function is_Number that checks if a given value is a number and positive.
const is_Number = (n, n_name = 'number') => {
  // If the given value is not a number, throw a TypeError.
  if (typeof n !== 'number') {
    throw new TypeError('The ' + n_name + ' is not Number type!');
  } 
  // If the given value is negative or not a finite number, throw an Error.
  else if (n < 0 || (!Number.isFinite(n))) {
    throw new Error('The ' + n_name + ' must be a positive values!');
  }
}

// Call the volume_Hemisphere function with valid and invalid arguments and output the results.
console.log(volume_Hemisphere(4.0));
console.log(volume_Hemisphere('4.0'));
console.log(volume_Hemisphere(-4.0));

Output:
