Logic to find perimeter and area of a rectangle

Step by step descriptive logic to find perimeter and area of a rectangle.

1. Input length and width of rectangle from user. Store it in some variable say length and width.
2. Apply formula to calculate rectangle perimeter i.e.perimeter = 2 * (length + width).
3. Apply formula to calculate rectangle area i.e.area = length * width.
4. Finally, print the value of perimeter and area.

Program to find perimeter and area of rectangle

/**
 * Java program to find perimeter and area of a rectangle.
 */
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Rectangle {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        float length, width, area, perimeter;

        // Create scanner class object
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);


        // Input length and width of rectangle
        System.out.print("Enter length of rectangle: ");
        length = in.nextFloat();
        
        System.out.print("Enter width of rectangle: ");
        width  = in.nextFloat();

        
        // Calculate perimeter  of rectangle
        perimeter = 2 * (length + width);

        // Calculate area of rectangle 
        area = length * width;

        
        // Print perimeter and area of rectangle
        System.out.println("Perimeter of rectangle is " + perimeter + " units.");
        System.out.println("Area of rectangle is " + area + " sq. units.");
    }
}

Enter length of rectangle: 30
Enter width of rectangle: 20
Perimeter of rectangle is 100.0 units.
Area of rectangle is 600.0 sq. units.

Happy coding 😉
