so I copied your format except I changed shape 3 to circle, Did I do the circle
part right?
and would this be considered seperate functions?
Thanks for your help
import math
from math import pi
menu = """
Pick a shape(1-3):
1) Square
2) Rectangle
3) Triangle
4) Quit
"""
shape = int(input(menu))
while shape != 4:
if shape == 1:
length = float(input("Length: "))
print( "Area of square = ", length ** 2 )
elif shape == 2:
length = float(input("Length: "))
width = float(input("Width: "))
print( "Area of rectangle = ", length * width )
elif shape == 3:
area = float(input("Radius: "))
circumference = float(input("radius: "))
print( "Area of Circle = ", pi*radius**2 )
shape = int(input(menu))
OR would this work better?
import math
from math import pi
print "your options are:"
print " "
print "1) Area(SQUARE)"
print "2) Area(RECTANGLE)"
print "3) Area(CIRCLE)"
print "4) Perimeter(SQUARE)"
print "5) Perimeter(RECTANGLE)"
print "6) Perimeter(CIRCLE)"
print "7) Exit"
while True:
selection = raw_input("Please select an option from the menu.: ")
def get_area_of_square():
print "Please enter the width of a square"
area = width**2
return area
def get_area_of_rectangle():
Print "please enter the width of a rectangle"
area = width*height
return area
def get_radius_of_circle():
print "please enter the radius of a circle"
radius = pi**2
retrun radius
SQUARES:
area = width*width = width**2
perimeter = width+width+width+width = 4*width
RECTANGLES:
area = width*height
perimeter = width+height+width+height = 2*(width+height)
CIRCLES:
area = pi*radius**2
circumference = 2*pi*radius

You will find something similar in my tutorial in the topic Branching.
Look under the heading "Python multi-selection" and there is some code you
should be able to include as template.
Have a go and come back with questions.

Steven has done the math bit for you, so just plug it into the python code you
need.
