How to get the perimeter of a circle in Scala

Overview

The perimeter of a circle is the distance around a closed figure, which in this case is a circle. It is also known as the circumference. It is the product of 2, pi, and the circle's radius.

All we need to do to find this value is to create a constant called pi using the val keyword. Next, we multiply this with other values.

Syntax

2 * PI * radius
Syntax of perimeter of a circle in scala

Parameters

  • PI: This is pi in mathematics. Its value is 3.14.
  • radius: This is the radius specified.

Return value

The value returned is a float, which is the total distance around the circle.

Example

// import the math module
import scala.math._
object Main extends App {
// create a PI value
val PI = Math.PI
// create some radii
var rad1 = 3
var rad2 = 45
var rad3 = 1.5
var rad4 = 0.1
// get the perimeter of cricles
var per1 = 2 * PI * rad1
var per2 = 2 * PI * rad2
var per3 = 2 * PI * rad3
var per4 = 2 * PI * rad4
// print the perimeters
println("The perimeter of area of radius "+rad1+" is: "+per1)
println("The perimeter of area of radius "+rad2+" is: "+per2)
println("The perimeter of area of radius "+rad3+" is: "+per3)
println("The perimeter of area of radius "+rad4+" is: "+per4)
}

Explanation

  • Line 2: We import the Math module.
  • Line 6: We create a PI constant value.
  • Lines 9–12: We create some radius values.
  • Lines 15–18: We get the perimeter of circles with the radius created.
  • Lines 21–24: We print the perimeters.
