How to Find Area of Square in Golang?
In this tutorial, we are going to see the Golang program to find the Area of a Square. The area is the total space covered by any closed figure.
Formula
Area of Square - (length of a side) * (length of a side) s - length of a side of a Square
For example, the length of a side of a Square is 10 cm so the Area of a Square is −
Area = 10 * 10
= 100 cm^2
Finding the Area of a Square within the function
Algorithm
Step 1 − Declaring the variables for the length of a side and the area of the float64 data type.
Step 2 − Initialize the variable.
Step 3 − Find the Area using the above formula within the function.
Step 4 − Printing the result.
Time Complexity: O(1) Space Complexity: O(1)
Example 1
In this example, we are going to find the Area of a Square within the function.
package main // fmt package provides the function to print anything import ( "fmt" ) func main() { // declaring the floating variables using the var keyword for // storing the length of the side of the Square also a variable area // to store Area var lengthOfSide, Area float64 fmt.Println("Program to find the Area of a Square.") // initializing the length of the side of a Square lengthOfSide = 10 // finding the Area of a Square Area = (lengthOfSide * lengthOfSide) // printing the result fmt.Println("The Area of a Square whose length of the side is", lengthOfSide, "is", Area, "cm * cm.") fmt.Println("(Finding the Area of a Square within the function)") }
Output
Program to find the Area of a Square. The Area of a Square whose length of the side is 10 is 100 cm * cm. (Finding the Area of a Square within the function)
Description of code
var lengthOfSide, Area float64 − In this line, we are declaring the length of a side and the Area that we are going to use later. As the length of a side or Area can be in decimal, we have used the float data type.
Area = (lengthOfSide * lengthOfSide) − In this line of code, we are applying the formula and finding the Area.
fmt.Println("The Area of a Square whose length of side is", lengthOfSide, "is", Area, "cm * cm.")
− Printing the Area of a Square.
Finding the Area of a Square in the separate function
Algorithm
Step 1 − Declaring the variables for the length of a side and the area of the float64 data type.
Step 2 − Initialize the variable.
Step 3 − Calling the function with the length of a side as a parameter, and storing the Area the function is returning.
Step 4 − Printing the result.
Example 2
In this example, we are going to find the Area of a Square by defining the separate function to find the Area.
package main // fmt package provides the function to print anything import ( "fmt" ) func areaOfSquare(lengthOfSide float64) float64 { // returning the area by applying the formula return (lengthOfSide * lengthOfSide) } func main() { // declaring the floating variables using the var keyword for // storing the length of the side of the Square also a variable area // to store Area var lengthOfSide, Area float64 fmt.Println("Program to find the Area of a Square.") // initializing the length of the side of a Square lengthOfSide = 10 // finding the Area of a Square by calling areaOfSquare() function Area = areaOfSquare(lengthOfSide) // printing the result fmt.Println("The Area of a Square whose length of a side is", lengthOfSide, "is", Area, "cm * cm.") fmt.Println("(Finding the Area of a Square in the separate function)") }
Output
Program to find the Area of a Square. The Area of a Square whose length of a side is 10 is 100 cm * cm. (Finding the Area of a Square in the separate function)
Description of code
var lengthOfSide, Area float64 − In this line, we are declaring the length of a side and the Area that we are going to use later. As the length of a side, or Area can be in decimal so we have used the float data type.
Area = areaOfSquare(lengthOfSide) − In this line of code, we call the function finding the Area of a Square.
fmt.Println("The Area of a Square whose length of side is", lengthOfSide, "is", Area, "cm * cm.") −
Printing the Area of a Square.
Conclusion
These are the two ways to find the Area of a Square in Golang. The second way is much better in terms of modularity and code reusability as we can call that function anywhere in the project. To learn more about go you can explore these tutorials.
