    Default Not getting the correct output

    import java.util*;

    public class Ch3_Prexercise2
    {
    static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
    int height;
    int radius;

    double height;
    double radius;

    System.out.print(Enter the height of the cylinder: ");
    radius = console.nextDouble();
    System.out.println();

    System.out.print("Volume of the cylinder = "
    + PI * Math.pow(radius, 2.0 + height);

    System.out.print("Enter the radius of the base of the "
    + " cylinder: ");
    height = console.nextDouble();

    System.out.println();

    System.out.println("Surface area: "
    + (2 * PI * Math.pow(radius, 2.0))
    + (2 * PI * radius * height));
    static final double PI = 3.14159;
    }
    }

    Default Re: Not getting the correct output

    Consider
    • Telling us what this program is supposed to do. We can't read minds and so have no idea what the "correct output" might be.
    • Telling us what this program currently does. Does it compile or are there compilation errors? Does it throw exceptions? If you receive any errors or exceptions, then post them.
    • Surround your code with [code=java] [/code] tags as per the forum FAQ. This helps your posted code retain its formatting so that it might be readable.

    sorry.....
    the program needs to prompt the user to input the height and the radius of the base of a cylinder and output the volume and surface area of the cylinder. Also modify the relevant output statements to format the output to two decimal places

    Default Re: Not getting the correct output

    And how is it not currently working? What is wrong with the above code? And again, can you edit your first post and place [code=java] [/code] tags around it:

    [code=java]
    //... your code goes here
    [/code]
