Print Area Of Circle 5 Different Ways With Examples
Below is the program to calculate the AOC in java, if you were new to java coding then we can also share the complete step by steps with detailed explanation on how this java program works, just below this code check it out.
1. Static Method
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
import java.util.Scanner; class AreaOfCircle { public static void main(String args[]) { Scanner s= new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter the radius:"); double r= s.nextDouble(); double area=(22*r*r)/7 ; System.out.println("Area of Circle is: " + area); } } |
1 2 3 |
Enter the radius : 7 Area of circle : 154.0 |
As we know that formula in math is :
But, if you were written like that, then the system won’t understand, until and unless you assign the value of “PIE” is 22/7. As usual , you always represent the values in binary numbers.
The system can’t able to understand whether the given number is a number, or given letter is a letter. All it understood as ” Character ” or just a “ Symbol “. Here goes the complete step by step explanation of the above code and how it works.
Step – 1:
1 |
import java.util.Scanner; |
( here ‘import’ is a keyword in java used to get features from inbuilt packages. here we using a package called until it consists of many classes and we using one of the class Scanner to get command over console which is the interface between user and program. )
Step – 2:
1 |
public static void main(String args[]) |
( The main function, where the execution of program start from here onwards )
Step – 3:
1 |
Scanner s= new Scanner(System.in); |
( 1. The scanner is a class used to scan the input data which was given by the user through a console.
so to get access on a console we want to create an object Syntax:new Scanner(); after creating an object that reference will store in variable ‘s’ )
Step – 4:
1 |
System.out.println("Enter the radius:"); |
( above code is giving instructions for the user to give the input for radius)
Step – 5:
1 |
double r= s.nextDouble(); |
( here above instruction is get input in the required format. first we want to know about nextDouble() method it takes a token(collection of symbols divide by white space example:”ABC”, “DEF” , “GHI”,”10″,”20″)
which is given by user.when user give 10 as input actually in user perspective it is number but any number or string which entered on console by default those are strings, 1o as string but we want 10 as number format for that we have method to convert string to number(Int, Double, Float, Long…..) some of those method are:
1.nextDouble() ,
2 nextFloat(),
3.nextInt(),
4.nextLong()
5.nextShort()
6.next() or nextString() ).
Step – 6:
1 |
double area=(22*r*r)/7 ; |
Step – 7: System.out.println(“Area of Circle is: ” + area); ( Once, you entered the radius , the value stored in a particular function ( nextDouble(); ) and read those values with the help of a scanner and display the output for a given value.
A : The major difference is where double can represent the output even after the decimal point , whereas in ” Int ” only the numbers before decimal point will take into consideration.
The second method for the above program #sample method – 2, with online compile using command line arguments method :
Here is the sample line for an integer :
let arg[0]=”10″;
int r=Integer.parseInt(args[0]);//r=10;
The purpose of using the “Double ” is , whenever you enter the radius of a particular number like “7” , the answer is 153.86 , numbers after decimal points will also be displayed on the screen. Whereas if you use the “int” , the digits after the decimal point will be loss.

2. Using Interface
There you go another program using the interface with sample outputs.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 |
import java.util.*; interface AreaCal { void circle(); } class AreaOfCircle implements AreaCal { double area; public void circle(double r) { area= (22*r*r)/7; } public static void main(String args[]) { AreaOfCircle x; Scanner s= new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter the radius:"); double rad= s.nextDouble(); x=new AreaOfCircle(); x.circle(rad); System.out.println("Area of Circle is: " + x.area); } } |
3. Java Program Using Inheritance
- Another program to print AOC using inheritance with sample example output.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 |
import java.util.Scanner; class AreaCalculation { double area; void circle(double r) { area= (22*r*r)/7; } } class AreaOfCircle extends AreaCalculation { public static void main(String args[]) { Scanner s= new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter the radius:"); double rad= s.nextDouble(); AreaOfCircle a=new AreaOfCircle(); a.circle(rad); System.out.println("Area of Circle is: " + a.area); } } |
1 2 3 |
Enter the radius: 63 Area of Circle is: 12474.0 |
4. Using Constructor
Using constructor to print AOC with outputs.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 |
import java.util.Scanner; class Area { double area; Area(double r) { area= (22*r*r)/7; } } class AreaOfCircle { public static void main(String args[]) { Scanner s= new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter the radius:"); double rad= s.nextDouble(); Area a=new Area(rad); System.out.println("Area of Circle is: " + a.area); } } |
1 2 3 |
Enter the radius: 15 Area of Circle is: 707.1428571428571 |
5. Using Method
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |
import java.util.Scanner; class AreaOfCircle { public static void main(String args[]) { Scanner s= new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter the radius:"); double rad= s.nextDouble(); double a=area(rad); System.out.println("Area of Circle is: " + a); } static double area(double r) { return (22*r*r)/7; } } |
