Python Program to find area of square

Program

side = int(input("Enter the side of a square?\t"))
area = side * side
print ("The area of the square is {0}".format(area))

This program calculates the area of a square based on user input.

side = int(input("Enter the side of a square?\t"))
  • input() function takes user input as a string.
  • int() function converts the input into an integer.
  • The user enters the length of one side of the square, stored in the variable side.
area = side * side
  • The formula for the area of a square is:
    [
    \text{Area} = \text{side} \times \text{side} ]
  • The result is stored in the variable area.
print("The area of the square is {0}".format(area))
  • Displays the calculated area using format() function for string formatting.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Uses input() to take user input for the side of the square.
  2. Computes the area using the formula ( \text{side} \times \text{side} ).
  3. Uses format() for clean output formatting.

This program provides a simple way to calculate the area of a square in Python.

Output

Enter the side of a square?	5
The area of the square is 25
