Calculate the circumference of a circle

1
Locked

Well, we have a plan. Let's implement it. First, implement a method that calculates the circumference of a circle. To do this, you need to write the correct formula in the method and specify the arguments. But what about pi, which we know is 3.141592... and so on to infinity? We'll keep things simple: let pi = 3.14.

You can't complete this task, because you're not signed in.

The solution is simple. Have to create a variable to store the value of PI (this must be double type because PI is a floating number), then create a variable to use the formula. At the end, print the value of that variable on screen like all the past examples. Radius value is obtained from main method that is passed as parameter.

Can someone please clarify why you must use "int radius" for the method and why it won't work with a double? I would assume that it would be the exact opposite, the instructions even say that the result should be a fractional double.

I tried it on another compiler switching out double for int. It compiled fine. Also, stackoverflow mentions it is default. “ By default, Java uses double to represent its floating-point numerals (so a literal 3.14 is typed double). ” and the reqs just say it will be a “fractional number” that happens to be a “(double)”.

Because radius is 5

I did not have to declare any variables for it to pass... But what I am wondering is how the answer came out as a double, when only the data type int was used?

I'm a little mixed up myself. I got the same thing you did, but for some reason, it's not accepting my code. When I say System.out.print(C), i get 31.400000000000002, but when I say System.out.print(pi), I get 3.14. Am I doing something wrong?
