C Program for Find the perimeter of a cylinder

Given diameter and height, find the perimeter of a cylinder.

Perimeter is the length of the outline of a two – dimensional shape. A cylinder is a three – dimensional shape. So, technically we cannot find the perimeter of a cylinder but we can find the perimeter of the cross-section of the cylinder. This can be done by creating the projection on its base, thus, creating the projection on its side, then the shape would be reduced to a rectangle.

Formula :
Perimeter of cylinder ( P ) = $( 2 * d ) + ( 2 * h )$
here d is the diameter of the cylinder
h is the height of the cylinder

Examples :

Input : diameter = 5, height = 10 
Output : Perimeter = 30

Input : diameter = 50, height = 150 
Output : Perimeter = 400

// CPP program to find  
// perimeter of cylinder 
#include <iostream> 
using namespace std; 
  
// Function to calculate perimeter 
int perimeter(int diameter, int height) 
{ 
    return 2 * (diameter + height); 
} 
  
// Driver function 
int main() 
{ 
    int diameter = 5; 
    int height = 10; 
      
    cout << "Perimeter = ";  
    cout<< perimeter(diameter, height); 
    cout<<" units\n"; 
      
    return 0; 
} 

Output :

Perimeter = 30 units
