Question

Exercise 5.5 (EASY) for beginning CS CLASS

PART A

Copy or cut and paste program P5_2.cpp (located below) to a new program called ex55.cpp. Make PI a constant value. Compile and run the program for the following values:

r = 2 cm, h = 10 cm

The correct answer should be:
      The cross-section area of the cylinder is 3.89556 inch-sq
      The side area of the cylinder is 19.4778 inch-sqr

Did you get the correct answer? You didn't! Explain the reason for this logic error in your report. Now add the instruction that fixes the problem (yes, you need just one instruction) and save your file in ex55.cpp file.   HINT: r=r*0.3937; //converting r to inch

PART B

Modify the ex55.cpp to include a new function called total_area that computes the total surface area of a cylinder. The total surface area is the sum of the side area and cross-section area. Call your new program ex55b.cpp.

For r=2 and h=10, the total area must be:  23.373383 inch-sqr.

Program P5_2.cpp:

// P 5_2.cpp This program illustrates the local and global variables and call-by-value.
// This program computes the side area and the cross section area of a cylinder
#include
#include
using namespace std;

//Let’s declare first any global constant, if any required

// This variable is defined globally, i.e. it is known to all functions in this program as PI

// To declare a global constant you must write it outside the main() function

const double PI = 3.14159;  

//Now we declare any programmer defined function

double cross_area(double r);                          // Function prototype for function cross_area
double side_area(double r, double h);            // Function prototype for function Side_area

// Start defining the main function

int main(void)
{
     double h, r; //variables local to the main function

      cout << "Enter the radius and the height of the cylinder in Cm ";
      cin >> r >> h;
      cout << endl;
      cout << "Before I do any computation or call any function, I want to let you know that \n";
      cout << "you have entered r = " << r << " and h = " << h << "." << endl;
      cout << "I am planning to use inch, thus in the first function, I will convert r, and " << endl;
      cout << "in the second one I will convert h \n";

      cout << "The cross section area of the cylinder is " << cross_area(r) << " inch-sqr" << endl;
      cout << "The side area of the cylinder is " << side_area(r,h) << " inch-sqr \n\n";

      return 0;
}

// Definition of all programmer defined functions

double cross_area(double r)
{
     //Cross section area includes the disks at the bottom and the top
      r = r * 0.3937; // converting r to inch
      return 2*PI*pow(r,2);
}

double side_area(double r, double h)
{
      double area; //variable local to side_area function
      h = h * 0.3937; // converting h to inch
      area = 2*PI*r*h;
      return area;
}
