Last update on December 21 2024 10:15:57 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Ruby program which accept the radius of a circle from the user and compute the parameter and area.

Ruby Code:

radius = 5.0
perimeter = 0.0
area = 0.0
print "Input the radius of the circle: "
radius = gets.to_f
perimeter = 2 * 3.141592653 * radius
area = 3.141592653 * radius * radius
puts "The perimeter is #{perimeter}."
puts "The area is #{area}."

Output:

Input the radius of the circle: The perimeter is 31.41592653.
The area is 78.539816325.
