Stanford CS106A Assignment 2 Pythagorean Theorem Solution

Woohooo! Finally an easier one 🙂 This one, the professor pretty much went over in Lecture 6. Luckily, I took good notes. Here is the problem:

Here is my solution, also available on github:

Since the other problems here were Graphics programs, I stumbled a bit by creating a “GLabel”. Since this is a Console program, remember to use “println()” to display a message or “readInt()” stored as an integer to ask the user for feedback. If you keep these in mind, this is a pretty simple problem (probably the easiest one in Assignment 2).

		println("c:"+ c); //displays value as a double
