Solution Review: Advancing the Shapes Analysis

This lesson discusses the solution to the challenge given in the previous lesson.

package main
import "fmt"
type Square struct {
side float32
}
type Triangle struct {
base float32
height float32
}
type AreaInterface interface {
Area() float32
}
type PeriInterface interface {
Perimeter() float32
}
func main() {
var areaIntf AreaInterface
var periIntf PeriInterface
sq1 := new(Square)
sq1.side = 5
tr1 := new(Triangle)
tr1.base = 3
tr1.height = 5
areaIntf = sq1
fmt.Printf("The square has area: %f\n", areaIntf.Area())
periIntf = sq1
fmt.Printf("The square has perimeter: %f\n", periIntf.Perimeter())
areaIntf = tr1
fmt.Printf("The triangle has area: %f\n", areaIntf.Area())
}
func (sq *Square) Area() float32 {
return sq.side * sq.side
}
func (sq *Square) Perimeter() float32 {
return 4 * sq.side
}
func (tr *Triangle) Area() float32 {
return 0.5 * tr.base*tr.height
}
