Problem

Your best friend in the whole world rummages through your cupboards and emerges with a can of clam chowder. Being slightly obsessive about measuring objects, your friend uses a measuring tape and concludes that the radius of the can is 4 centimeters and the height is 12 centimeters. Your friend then poses some questions to you:

  1. What is the surface area of the can?
  2. What is the volume of the can?
  3. Can I eat this clam chowder?

Being slightly obsessive about using Java to do all of your mathematical computations, you design a program to find answers to these questions. You are also a rebel; You do not like using the Java constant for PI, so you create your own.
