Answer to Question #246767 in C++ for JalenM

Question

The circumference of a rectangle is 2*(length + width), where length and width are length and width of the rectangle. Write a program that asks for the length and width of two rectangles. The program should tell the user which rectangle has the greater circumference, or if the circumferences are the same.

Answer 1

#include <iostream>


using namespace std;


int main()
{
    int w1, w2, h1, h2, p1, p2;
    cout << "Input width and height of the first rectangle: ";
    cin >> w1 >> h1;
    cout << "Input width and height of the second rectangle: ";
    cin >> w2 >> h2;
    p1 = 2 * (w1 + h1);
    p2 = 2 * (w2 + h2);


    if (p1 == p2)
        cout << "Same circumference\n";
    else if (p1 > p2)
        cout << "The first rectangle";
    else
        cout << "The second rectangle\n";


    return 0;
}

Example:
Input width and height of the first rectangle: 1 2
Input width and height of the second rectangle: 3 4

The second rectangle
