C++ Program to Find the Area of Shapes using Switch Case

This C++ program computes area of a shape using switch case. The program takes shape as an input and identifies the shape using a switch case. The statements then takes required values as input, computes the area and prints it.

Here is the source code of the C++ program computes area of a shape using switch case. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
