so I copied your format except I changed shape 3 to circle, Did I do the
circle part right?
Nearly.
The circumference is wrong, you need to calculate it not read it from
the user.
and would this be considered separate functions?
No, but your second variant is separate functions. You just need to
insert them into the first version as appropriate. (After you get them
working of course!:-)
*elif shape == 3:
area = float(input("Radius: "))
circumference = float(input("radius: "))
print( "Area of Circle = ", pi*radius**2 )
shape = int(input(menu))*
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"
This line needs to be an input as you did above.
All you are doing here is printing a message not reading anything back.
And certainly not assigning anything to width.
area = width**2
return area
That defines the function but does not call it. You should put the
definition outside the loop - above all the code above - and then call
it inside the if/else statement:
area = get_area_of_square()
or even
print "Area of square = ", get_area_of_square()
