MHB Calculate Sphere Volume Using (4.0/3.0) Division

AI Thread Summary
To compute the volume of a sphere using the formula V = (4/3)πr³, the code requires the correct implementation of floating-point division. The value of pi is set to 3.14159, and the sphere's radius is initialized to 1.0. The calculation for sphereVolume should be performed using the expression (4.0 / 3.0) * piVal * Math.pow(sphereRadius, 3). This ensures that the result is accurate and utilizes the floating-point division necessary for precise calculations. The final output should display the computed sphere volume.

Given sphereRadius and piVal, compute the volume of a sphere and assign to sphereVolume. Use (4.0 / 3.0) to perform floating-point division, instead of (4 / 3) which performs integer division.

Code:
public class SphereVolumeCalculator {
   public static void main (String [] args) {
      double piVal = 3.14159;
      double sphereVolume = 0.0;
      double sphereRadius = 0.0;

      sphereRadius = 1.0;

     

      System.out.println("Sphere volume: " + sphereVolume);
      return;
   }
}

The volume $V$ of a sphere having radius $r$ is given by:

$$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$$

So, can you use that to construct the needed statement?
 
Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
