Area class program

The problem

Write a class that has three overloaded static methods for calculating the areas of the following geometric shapes:

circles
rectangles
cylinders

Here are the formulas for calculating the area of the shapes:

Shape	Formula
Area of a circle	Area = nr^2 where: n is Math.PI and r is the circle's radius
Area of a rectangle	Area = Width x Length
Area of a cylinder	Area = nr^2h where: n is Math.PI, r is the radius of the cylinder's base, and h is the cylinder's height

Because the three methods are to be overloaded, they should each have the same name, but different parameter lists. Demonstrate the class in a complete program.

Breaking it down

Area class

public static class Area {

    /**
     * Method should calculate the area of a circle
     *
     * @param radius
     * @return area of a circle
     */
    public static double getArea(double radius) {
        return Math.PI * radius * radius;
    }

    /**
     * Method should calculate the area of a rectangle
     *
     * @param length
     * @param width
     *
     * @return area of a rectangle
     */
    public static double getArea(int length, int width) {
        return length * width;
    }

    /**
     * Method should calculate the area of a cylinder
     *
     * @param radius
     * @param height
     *
     * @return area of a cylinder
     */
    public static double getArea(double radius, double height) {
        return Math.PI * radius * radius * height;
    }
}

Main program

public static void main(String[] args) {

    // Area of a circle
    System.out.printf("The area of a circle with a "
            + "radius of 10.0 is %6.2f\n", Area.getArea(10.0));

    // Area of a rectangle
    System.out.printf("The area of a rectangle with a "
            + "length of 15 and a width of 25 is %6.2f\n",
            Area.getArea(15, 25));

    // Area of cylinder
    System.out.printf("The area of a cylinder with a "
            + "radius of 12.0 and a height " + "of 17.0 is %6.2f\n",
            Area.getArea(12.0, 17.0));
}

Output

The area of a circle with a radius of 10.0 is 314.16
The area of a rectangle with a length of 15 and a width of 25 is 375.00
The area of a cylinder with a radius of 12.0 and a height of 17.0 is 7690.62

Level Up

Write three unit tests for each getArea overloaded method validating the logic in the method is correct.
