    Class Exercise

 Operators & Expressions Exercise

 

This exercise should be carried out after reading 

the tutorial on  Operators & Expressions

 

    Exercise 1: Sphere Application

The formula for calculating the volume of a sphere is given by...

V =  4¸3 p r3

Where, V is the volume, r is the radius and p is pi, which you can approximate as 3.141.

 

The formula for calculating the surface area of a sphere is given by...

A =  4 p r2

Where, V is the volume, r is the radius and p is pi, which again you can approximate as 3.141.

 

  1. Write Java code that prints out to the command prompt windows the volume and surface area of a sphere.  Your code should use variables such as V, PI (for p) and r and declare them using appropriate data types.

  2. Check that your program works correctly by getting it to calculate the volume and surface area of a sphere with a radius of 8cm.  You should get an answer of approximately 2150 for the volume and 804 for the surface are.
