Shape Factory

Create shapes from text descriptions with a factory and return the area of each one.

What you'll learn

  • Create objects from a text description
  • Hide construction behind one function
  • Let each shape compute its own area

Problem

The factory method pattern hides how objects are created: you ask the factory for a shape by name and get back an object that knows how to compute its own area.

Each description is a shape name followed by its numbers, separated by spaces:

  • circle r: area π·r²
  • square s: area s²
  • rectangle w h: area w·h
  • triangle b h: area b·h / 2

Implement shape_factory_areas(shapes).

Input

shapes: The descriptions. Numbers may have decimals.

Output

Return the area of each shape, in order. Answers within 1e-6 are accepted.

Constraints

1 ≤ number of shapes ≤ 1,000

0 < every number ≤ 1,000

Examples

Example 1
Input:
shapes = ["square 3", "rectangle 2 5", "triangle 4 3"]

Expected output:
expected = [9.0, 10.0, 6.0]
Input:
std::vector<std::string> shapes = {"square 3", "rectangle 2 5", "triangle 4 3"};

Expected output:
std::vector<double> expected = {9.0, 10.0, 6.0};
Input:
string[] shapes = new string[] {"square 3", "rectangle 2 5", "triangle 4 3"};

Expected output:
double[] expected = new double[] {9.0, 10.0, 6.0};

Explanation

3² = 9, 2·5 = 10 and 4·3/2 = 6.

Example 2
Input:
shapes = ["circle 1"]

Expected output:
expected = [3.141592653589793]
Input:
std::vector<std::string> shapes = {"circle 1"};

Expected output:
std::vector<double> expected = {3.141592653589793};
Input:
string[] shapes = new string[] {"circle 1"};

Expected output:
double[] expected = new double[] {3.141592653589793};

Explanation

π·1² = π ≈ 3.141593.

How to approach it

Try on your own first, then open one hint at a time.

Hint 1

Read the first word to know which shape to build.

Hint 2

Map each shape name to its area formula.

Hint 3

Use π from your language's math library and keep full precision.

Expected complexity

O(number of shapes) time, O(number of shapes) extra space
