Question

Write a function that will calculate either the area of a square or the volume of a cube based on the parameters passed to it. If only length and width are passed, the height should default to one using a default parameter. The function should use the same formula to calculate both quantities. The result should be returned in a tuple with the second part being the units (we will use feet to be consistent between everyone's code). 1. Ex: calc(2,5) would return (10, sq ft') calc(2,5,3) would return (30, 'cu ft)

Explanation / Answer

# function to calculate
def calc(side1,side2,side3=1):
# Volume of cube or Area of square
s = side1*side2*side3
  
# condition to check height
if side3==1:
# store the result of square
res=s,"sq ft"
else:
# store the result of cube
res=s,"cu ft"
return res

# Passing parameter
result=calc(2,5,3)
# Result to print
print(result)
