Second Program

Second Program#

Observations#

Note the following:

  • The programmer name and project title are in the comments.

  • We can put the project requirements in the comments as well. In bigger projects this would be a separate document.

  • Variables are declared at the top of the function - main() . When we have more functions the variables will always go at the top, with the exception of var.

  • Note the programming pattern

    • Ask a question

      System.out.print("Question?");

    • Store the response in a variable using a scanner

    • Make a calculation

    • Show the answer using another

      System.out.print("Answer is " + x);

      • Note the commenting.

/*
Name: James Goudy
Project: Example 2

Program requirements
Greeting: Name and major

Problem 1 : Calculate the circumference of a circle
Formula:    C = πRD    
            C - circumference
            π - pi 3.14
            R - Radius
            D - Diameter

Problem 2 : Calculate the volume of a prism
Formula:    V = lwd
            V - Volume
            l - length
            w - width
            d - depth
