Question

Write a MATLAB code, which prompts the user to input the name (character-type data) of a three dimensional geometric shape from the following list printed on the screen: - Cube - Sphere - Cylinder Based on the user’s input, your code, employing switch-case-end command, should further ask a user to enter the geometric properties of each shape (using input command) and display the volume within the following statement (using fprintf command): The volume of the given ?? is equal to ??.

Note: An error message should be displayed if a user enters an invalid shape.

Explanation / Answer

program:-

prompt1 = 'Enter cube or sphere or cylinder: ';
shape = input(prompt1,'s');     %ask user for Enter cube or sphere or cylinder and store it in shape
switch shape
    case 'cube' %for cube
        prompt = 'Enter side of the cube: ';    %ask user for side of cube
        side = input(prompt);
        volume = side*side*side;    %calculate volume of cube
        fprintf('The volume of the given %s is equal to %f. ',shape,volume);     %print result
    case 'sphere'
        prompt = 'Enter radius of the sphere: ';    %ask user for side of sphere
        radius = input(prompt);
        volume = 4/3*pi*radius*radius*radius;   %calculate volume of sphere
        fprintf('The volume of the given %s is equal to %f. ',shape,volume);     %print result
    case 'cylinder'
        prompt = 'Enter radius of cylinder: '; %ask user for radius of cylinder
        radius = input(prompt);
        prompt = 'Enter height of cylinder: '; %ask user for height of cylinder
        height = input(prompt);
        volume = pi*radius*radius*height;   %calculate volume of cylinder
        fprintf('The volume of the given %s is equal to %f. ',shape,volume);     %print result
    otherwise
        warning(' ----invalid shape----');
end

output:-

>> SwitchCase
Enter cube or sphere or cylinder: cube
Enter side of the cube: 10
The volume of the given cube is equal to 1000.000000.
>> SwitchCase
Enter cube or sphere or cylinder: sphere
Enter radius of the sphere: 10
The volume of the given sphere is equal to 4188.790205.
SwitchCase
Enter cube or sphere or cylinder: cylinder
Enter radius of cylinder: 10
Enter height of cylinder: 5
The volume of the given cylinder is equal to 1570.796327.
SwitchCase
Enter cube or sphere or cylinder: cone
Warning: ----invalid shape----
