Java program to calculate area of Square

In this tutorial we will learn how to calculate area of Square. Following are the two ways to do it:

1) Program 1: Prompting user for entering the side of the square
2) Program 2: Side of the square is specified in the program’ s source code.

Program 1:

/**
 * @author: BeginnersBook.com
 * @description: Program to Calculate Area of square.Program 
 * will prompt user for entering the side of the square.
 */
import java.util.Scanner;
class SquareAreaDemo {
   public static void main (String[] args)
   {
       System.out.println("Enter Side of Square:");
       //Capture the user's input
       Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
       //Storing the captured value in a variable
       double side = scanner.nextDouble();
       //Area of Square = side*side
       double area = side*side; 
       System.out.println("Area of Square is: "+area);
   }
}

Output:

Enter Side of Square:
2.5
Area of Square is: 6.25

Program 2:

/**
 * @author: BeginnersBook.com
 * @description: Program to Calculate Area of square.
 * No user interaction: Side of square is hard-coded in the
 * program itself.
 */
class SquareAreaDemo2 {
   public static void main (String[] args)
   {
       //Value specified in the program itself
       double side = 4.5;
       //Area of Square = side*side
       double area = side*side; 
       System.out.println("Area of Square is: "+area);
   }
}

Output:

Area of Square is: 20.25
