Rust program to calculate the area of Parallelogram

Given base and height or altitude of the Parallelogram, we have to calculate the area of Parallelogram using Rust program.
Last Updated : September 29, 2021

Problem Statement

Here, we will read the base, altitude of the Parallelogram from the user. Then we will calculate the area of Parallelogram and print the result.

Area of Parallelogram formula = b x h

Where b is the base and h is the height or altitude of the Parallelogram.

Program/Source Code

The source code to calculate the area of the Parallelogram is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

// Rust program to calculate the 
// area of Parallelogram

use std::io;

fn main() 
{
    let mut base:f32    = 0.0;
    let mut altitude:f32= 0.0;
    let mut area:f32    = 0.0;
    
    let mut input1 = String::new();
    let mut input2 = String::new();
       
    println!("Enter base: ");
    io::stdin().read_line(&mut input1).expect("Not a valid string");
    base = input1.trim().parse().expect("Not a valid number");
    
    println!("Enter altitude: ");
    io::stdin().read_line(&mut input2).expect("Not a valid string");
    altitude = input2.trim().parse().expect("Not a valid number");

    area = base * altitude;
    
    println!("Area of Parallelogram is: {}", area);
}

Output

Enter base: 
12.34
Enter altitude: 
34.56
Area of Parallelogram is: 426.47043

Explanation

Here, we read the value of base, altitude from the user. Then we calculated the area of Parallelogram and printed the result.
