help with area and volume cyclinder?

Write a function to compute the area and volume of a cylinder. The first line is function [area, volume] = cylinder(height, radius)

Perform the following tests in the Command window:

>> [a, v] = cylinder(1, 1)

>> cylinder(1, 1)

Answer 1

[Star Strider]

First, write down the formulae for the surface and volume of a cylinder, calculate their values from some data you’re given, then tell MATLAB to do exactly the same thing. Check your calculations with the values MATLAB produces to be sure you’ve told MATLAB how to do the calculations correctly.

See Function Basics for help with writing your function. (I would use anonymous functions — they’re easy for problems such as this — unless you’re supposed to use function files.)
