Swift Program to calculate the volume and area of the Cylinder

This tutorial will discuss how to write a Swift program to calculate the volume and area of the cylinder.

A cylinder is a three-dimensional shape that has two identical parallel circular bases joined by a curved surface.

Volume of the Cylinder

The amount of space occupied by the cylinder in the three-dimensional plane is known as the volume of the cylinder. For example, we want to fill a cylindrical bottle with shampoo, so using volume we can calculate the required amount of shampoo. We can calculate the volume of the cylinder using radius and height of the cylinder.

Formula

Following is the formula for the volume of the cylinder ?

Volume = ?r<sup>2</sup>h

Below is a demonstration of the same ?

Input

Suppose our given input is ?

Radius = 8 
Height = 14

Output

The desired output would be ?

Volume of the cylinder = 2814.8670176164546

Algorithm

Following is the algorithm ?

• Step 1 ? Declare two double-type variables to store the height and radius of the cylinder ?

var cRadius : Double = 5.0 
var cHeight : Double = 15.0

Here the value of these variables can be user defined or pre defined.

• Step 2 ? Declare a variable named cVolume to store the volume of the cylinder using the following formula ?

var cVolume = Double.pi * cRadius * cRadius * cHeight

• Step 3 ? Print the output

Example

The following program shows how to find the volume of the cylinder.

Output

Radius of the cylinder is: 5.0 
Height of the cylinder is: 15.0

Here, in the above code we calculate the volume of the cylinder using the following mathematical formula ?

var cVolume = Double.pi * cRadius * cRadius * cHeight

Area of the Cylinder

The total space or region covered by the cylinder in the three-dimensional plane is known as the area of the cylinder. A cylinder has two types of area ?

• Curved surface area

1. Curved Surface Area

The space occupied by the curved surface of the cylinder, or we can say the region occupied between two parallel bases is known as the curved surface area of the cylinder. It is also known as lateral surface area of the cylinder.

Formula

Following is the formula for the curved surface area of cylinder ?

Area = 2?rh

Algorithm

Following is the algorithm ?

• Step 1 ? Declare two double-type variables to store the height and radius of the cylinder ?

var cRadius : Double = 8.0 
var cHeight : Double = 14.0
