For some reason when I compile my code the hypotenuse returns to just 0 and it returns an integer and not a double and was wanting to know if anyone had any suggestions........
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
double Calculate_Hypotenuse(int length_one, int length_two);
int main()
{
int length_one, length_two;
double hypotenuse = 0.0;
cout << "Programmed by Jim Johnson";
cout << endl << endl << "Type a negative number for side 1 to exit the program";
cout << endl;
do
{
cout << "Enter the length of the side 1 in inches: ";
cin >> length_one;
if (length_one >= 0)
{
cout << "Enter the length of the side 2 in inches: ";
cin >> length_two;
cout << endl << endl << "Triangle: Side 1: " << length_one << " inches";
cout << endl <<"\t Side 2: " << length_two << " inches";
Calculate_Hypotenuse(length_one, length_two);
cout << endl <<"Hypotenuse: " << hypotenuse << " inches";
cout << endl << endl;
}
cout.setf(ios::fixed);
cout.setf(ios::showpoint);
cout.precision(2);
} while (length_one >=0);
return 0;
}
double Calculate_Hypotenuse(int length_one, int length_two)
{
double area;
double hypotenuse;
area = pow(length_one,2.0) + pow(length_two,2.0);
hypotenuse = sqrt(area);
return hypotenuse;
}
