Write a Program to calculate the Perimeter of Hexagon

Before writing the program of calculating the perimeter of hexagon in different programming languages, firstly we have to know about what is hexagon and what is the formula to find perimeter of it?

What is Hexagon?

A hexagon is a 6-sided, 2-dimensional geometric figure. The total of the internal angles of any hexagon is 720°. A regular hexagon has 6 rotational symmetries and 6 reflection symmetries. All internal angles are 120 degrees.

Perimeter of Hexagon = 6 * a,
where, a is the side length of Hexagon.

Program of calculating the perimeter of a hexagon in different Programming languages

Program 1: Write a Program in C language:

// This a C program which uses a function to find the perimeter of a hexagon.
#include <stdio.h>
float findPerimeterofhexagon(float a) // It is a function to find perimeter 
{ 
float Perimeter_of_hexagon;
Perimeter_of_hexagon= 6 * a; // It is a formula for calculating a perimeter of hexagon 
return (Perimeter_of_hexagon); 
} 
int main() 
{ 
float side; 
printf("Enter the length of side of the hexagon:"); 
scanf("%f",&side);
printf("Perimeter of the hexagon is: %.2f", findPerimeterofhexagon(side));   
return 0; 
} 

Output of Above C program:

Enter the length of side of the hexagon:6
Perimeter of the hexagon is: 36.00

Program 2: Write a Program in Java language:

// This a  Java program which calculates the perimeter of a hexagon.
class findperimeter { 
static int findPerimeterofhexagon(int a) 
{ 
int Perimeter_of_hexagon;
Perimeter_of_hexagon= 6 * a; // It is a formula for calculating the perimeter of hexagon 
return(Perimeter_of_hexagon); 
} 

// Driver method 
public static void main(String[] args) 
{ 
int side = 20; 
System.out.println("The Perimeter of a hexagon in Java:");
System.out.println(findPerimeterofhexagon(side)); 
} 
}

Output of Above Java program:

The Perimeter of a hexagon in Java:
120

Program 3: Write a Program in PHP programming language.

<?php 
// This a  PHP program which calculates the perimeter of a hexagon.  
// Function to find perimeter 
function findPerimeterofhexagon($a) 
{         
$Perimeter_of_hexagon = 6 * $a; // It is a formula which calculates the perimeter  and store the value in the perimeter variable. 
return ($Perimeter_of_hexagon); 
} 

$side = 40; 

echo findPerimeterofhexagon($side); 

?>

Output of Above PHP program:

Program 4: Write a Program in Python programming language.

# This is a python program which calculates the perimeter of a hexagon. 
# It is a function to calculate the perimeter of hexagon
def findPerimeterofhexagon(a):
    return (6 * a) # It is a formula which adds the three side and # then return the value to the statement of calling fucntion. 
side =50
print(findPerimeterofhexagon(side))

Output of Above Python program:
