7.30 (Calculating Circle Circumference, Circle Area or Sphere Volume Using Function Pointers)

Using the techniques you learned in Fig. 7.28, create a text-based , menu-driven program that allows
the user to choose whether to calculate the circumference of a circle, the area of a circle or the
volume of a sphere.

The program should then input a radius from the user, perform the appropriate calculation and
display the result. Use an array of function pointers in which each pointer represents a function
that returns void and receives a double parameter . The corresponding functions should each display
messages indicating which calculation was performed, the value of the radius and the result of the
calculation.

For the purposes of this exercise, assume pi is equal to 3.1415926. In your calculation functions,
display a message that indicates the value for radius read in and the result of the calculation. In
both cases, display the value to 7 digits of precision.

If the user enters a selection not present on your menu, indicate the error and try again until a
correct selection is made. Also, do not accept values for the radius that are less than 0.0.

First: Don't use while(1), use something like getchar so you can analyze the output while you can exit properly when needed. Also, since the query message and code is the same for all functions, query it in main and pass the values correctly, otherwise the parameters are meaningless.

Also, you didn't specify a problem. I presume it's not behaving as expected, so what's the matter?
