Programming Laboratory Assignments 01B (suggested filename:
Instructions:
1. Write a C++ program that that computes the area of a rectangle, which is width * height.
2. Run the program and correct any errors that occur.
3. Test the program with different inputs.
An example of the program input and output is shown below:
Display/Introduce (a message of) what the program will accomplish – such as
“This program will compute the area of a rectangle, given the width and height.”
Enter the width: 33
Enter the height: 22
The area is 726 square units.
SAMPLE HOW YOU HAVE TO DO THE ASSIGNMENT :
