C++ program to create one rectangle class and calculate its area

Suppose we have taken length and breadth of two rectangles, and we want to calculate their area using class. So we can make a class called Rectangle with two attributes l and b for length and breadth respectively. And define another function called area() to calculate area of that rectangle.

So, if the input is like (10,9), (8,6), then the output will be 90 and 48 as the length and breadth of first rectangle is 10 and 9, so area is 10 * 9 = 90, and for the second one, the length and breadth is 8 and 6, so area is 8 * 6 = 48.

To solve this, we will follow these steps −

Define rectangle class with two attributes l and b
define input() function to take input for l and b
define area() function to return l * b, which is the area of that rectangle

Example

Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Rectangle{
    private:
        int l, b;
    public:
        void input(int len, int bre){
            l = len;
            b = bre;
        }
        int area(){
            return l * b;
        }
};
int main(){
    Rectangle r1, r2;
    r1.input(10, 9);
    r2.input(8, 6);
    cout << "Area of r1: " << r1.area() << endl;
    cout << "Area of r2: " << r2.area() << endl;
}
