my first python program
hi every 1 this is my first python program (for calculating areas) and was hoping could get some feedback on it and if theres a better way of doing what i did
import math
while quit != "yes":
c = c + 1
shape = raw_input("is it a circle rectangle or triangle?")
if shape == "circle":
rad = input("what is the radius?")
area = math.pi * (rad**2)
elif shape == "rectangle":
length = input("what is the length?")
width = input("what is the width?")
area = length*width
if length == width:
shape = "square"
elif shape == "triangle":
length = input("what is the height?")
width = input("what is the base?")
area = (height*base)/2
else:
print "unknown shape"
if shape == "rectangle" or shape == "triangle" or shape == "circle" or shape == "square":
print " the shape is %s the area is %d and this program has been run %d times " % (shape,area,c)
quit = raw_input("do you want to quit? ")
import sys
sys.exit()
there should be tabs in there but dont know how to get them 2 work.
