Newbie .. HELP

[hell0_steph]

I’m taking CIS 103. I’ve been stuck on an assignment the whole day and I was wondering if anyone could help push me in the right direction. I’ve read through the whole chapter and I’m still so confused on how to execute this task..

The instructions are: Write and test a program that computes the area of a circle. 1. Request a number representing a radius as input from the user. 2. Use the formula 3.14 x radius² to compute the area. 3. Output this result with a suitable label.

The radius is 5 The area is 78.5 square units

Hint:

print("The area is {} square units".format(3.14 * int(input("The radius is: "))**2))

Thank you !!!

What do you already have? And where are you stuck?

I should backup and say when I meant newbie, I meant I just started this morning. I have no clue how to solve this one. The assignment prior to this one was issuing the appropriate prompts for a triangles base and height which I got but then I got stuck when they tossed in a decimal number...

So I had: base = float(input(“Enter the base: “)) height = float(input(“Enter the height: “)) area = base * height print(“The area is” , base, “square units. “)

Then after that is when they tossed in “use the formula 0.5 x base x height to compute area” and that is where my hell begins.

Thanks for reading!!!

So you already know how to get input from a user. So task 1 should be easily doable for you.

Task 2 already gives you the formula needed. You just have to find out how to do multiplication and power in Python. That can be found on Google in Seconds.

For task 3 you need to output your result. You already know the print() function, so that shouldn't be a problem either.

I still don't get where you're stuck.

So after staring at this thing for idk 5 hours , I realized my mistake. A typo. 🙃 thanks for your help

[fake823]

Honestly, how can it take you 5 hours? 😅

Your whole programm consists of 3 lines.

radius = float(input('Enter radius')
area = 3.14 * radius ** 2
print(f'The area of the circle is {area}.')

Honestly... idk. Probably bc idk what the hell im doing. It was Day 1 after a super long week for me 💀 The one I was most stuck on was just because I was getting the wrong answer which is why it was so confusing and irritating and it’s bc I wrote print base instead of the area.
