Just For Fun 04: Area of a Square and Function Calls

Exploring Python Functions and Iteration

What this code does: This code defines a function squareArea(s) that calculates the area of a square given its side length s. The main() function acts as a driver: it prints the area for a single value, then iterates over a list of test values (including integers, zero, negative numbers, and a complex number) and prints the area for each. Function calls: - squareArea(s) is called inside main() for each value in testValues_list and for the initial sideLength. - main() is called at the end to start the program.

Example Code:

def squareArea(s: float ) -> float:
    """ determine area of square"""
    return s*s # area of square is s*s
# end of squareArea()

def main() -> None:
    """ driver function """
    sideLength = 5
    # Testing value
    print(f"Length {sideLength}")
    print(f" Area: {squareArea(sideLength)}")
    # These inputs work
    testValues_list =[2,0,-3,2 + 5j]
    # why will these inputs not work?
    # testValues_list =[True, "radius"]
    print("\n Iterating over the list.")
    for val in testValues_list: #iteration
        print(f" Length {val}, Area: {squareArea(val)}")
    # end main()

main() # call the driver function

def squareArea(s: float ) -> float: """ determine area of square""" return s*s # area of square is s*s # end of squareArea() def main() -> None: """ driver function """ sideLength = 5 # Testing value print(f"Length {sideLength}") print(f" Area: {squareArea(sideLength)}") # These inputs work testValues_list =[2,0,-3,2 + 5j] # why will these inputs not work? # testValues_list =[True, "radius"] print("\n Iterating over the list.") for val in testValues_list: #iteration print(f" Length {val}, Area: {squareArea(val)}") # end main() main() # call the driver function
