There is many problems with your code : it is full of syntax errors, and doesn't even compile.

Please clean it up and search a little what's wrong by yourself before posting it.

Enter the width of the rectangle as integer
20
Area of rectangle is : 200
Perimeter of the rectangle is : 60

Enter the length of the rectangle as float
10.2
Enter the width of the rectangle as float
20.3
Area of rectangle is : 207.06
Perimeter of the rectangle is : 61

Enter the length of the rectangle as double
12.33
Enter the width of the rectangle as double
25.36
Area of rectangle is : 312.689
Perimeter of the rectangle is : 75.38
