    Default Trying to clean this part of my progam up, but cant seem to get it.

    Im trying to get the area of a square, rectangle, and a circle.

    i have to include all this and I'm just stuck!

    Use System.out.println to display the calculated values to the computer screen. Make sure the output includes words as well as numbers so the user will know what the values pertain to. Include appropriate units with the displayed calculated values.

    Use the Java Scanner feature. Prompt the user to make a decision on whether s/he wants to determine the area of 1. a square, 2. a rectangle, or 3 a circle. Do not allow the user to determine the areas of all three shapes without rerunning the program.

    Ask the user for the dimension units (feet, inches, meters, centimeters, millimeters) that would be associated with the values entered for the length of the side of a square, the length/width of a rectangle and the diameter/radius of the circle.
    Make use of the Math.PI and Math.pow features of Java.

    Welcome to the forums Mod31.

    I'm afraid no one here is going to do your assignment for you.

    Show us where you are stuck. Show us you have made an effort and we will take it from there..

    No problem. I am glad you have started this.

    Lots of users post assignments and expect people to complete it without showing an effort on their part.

    So lets take this one step at a time. What part are you stuck on?
