Example 5: Calculate the Dimensions of a Paper Given the Size

Learn how to calculate the size of various types of paper and print them.

Problem

The paper of size A0 has dimensions 1189 mm x 841 mm. Each subsequent size A(n) is defined as A(n-1) cut in half parallel to its shorter sides.

Write a program that takes A0 paper size as a parameter and print sizes of A0, A1, A2, and A3 on the console.

Example

Size of A0 Paper: Height = 1189, Width = 841

Size of A1 Paper: Height = 841, Width = 594

Size of A2 Paper: Height = 594, Width = 420

Size of A3 Paper: Height = 420, Width = 297
