ellipse, circle, rectangle, square, or parallelogram

Hi all,

Coming from a C++ background and now having to learn to code in java I've run into a little bit of trouble. The program I'm writing has to prompt the user to enter a Shape (either an ellipse, circle, rectangle, square, or parallelogram, or press 0 to quit), then have the user pick whether they want to find the area or perimeter.

Then you need to have the user enter the correct parameters, i.e. height/width for the area of a square, or the height x 2 + width x2 for the perimeter, or pie x (radius x radius) for the area of the circle / 2 x pie x radius for the perimeter, etc, etc, and finally have the program print the output

any help at all would be appreciated

thanks

did you try anything , do expect us to do a full project for you

I've tried a few things, I can post the code I have when I get home in a couple hours. I wasn't looking for you to do the whole project, just give me a good starting point mostly

just post the code and i will do my best to guide you

Or you can check the usage of this in the demo files. When you install java, these files will be installed in the package. It's complete with the codes. You can start ur project by analyzing it first.
