Hello, I could use some help in making a program that computes the volume of either a cube, a cyliner, or box. The user enters the shape (strings) they want (ex: cube. Then the program asks to enter the values such as side length, radius, etc. The program then displays the corresponding shape volume.

Ex: cube with side of 4

The volume of a cube with side=4 is 64.

Which part is giving you the most trouble? Please post whatever code you have tried sofar...

Also you can use a simple menu driven program where you display all the shapes in a numbered list, ask for a number, and then ask for length, radius etc.
if you go with asking it as string, i suggest you keep multiple names for a shape.
like a box can also be a cuboid or radius can be input as diameter as well.
