geometry calculator

[RedRocks]

I need help my program won't compile correctly, I've been working on it for
4 days now, and i am feeling very stressed/burned out:

import java.util.Scanner;

class GeometryCalculator {

public static void main( String [] args ) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner( System.in );
boolean run = true;
do {
System.out.println("Please select from the following menu... ");
System.out.println(" 1. Calculate the Area of a Circle");
System.out.println(" 2. Calculate the Area of a Rectangle");
System.out.println(" 3. Calculate the Area of a Triangle");
System.out.println(" 4. Quit");
System.out.print("Please make your selection ==> ");
String selection = sc.nextLine();
int choice = Integer.parseInt( selection );

switch( choice ) {
case 1 :
System.out.println("You Entered, 1. Calculate the Area of a Circle");
System.out.print("Enter the radius of the circle ==> ");
float c = Float.parseFloat( sc.nextLine() );
System.out.println( "The area is " + Geometry.areaCircle( c ) );
break;
case 2:
System.out.println("You Entered, 2. Calculate the Area of a Rectangle");
System.out.print("Enter the Length of the circle ==> ");
System.out.print("Enter the Width of the circle ==> ");
float r = Float.parseFloat( sc.nextLine() );
System.out.println( "The area is " + Geometry.areaRectangle( r ) );
break;
case 3:
System.out.println("You Entered, 3. Calculate the Area of a Triangle");
System.out.print("Enter the radius of the circle ==> ");
float t = Float.parseFloat( sc.nextLine() );
System.out.println( "The area is " + Geometry.areaTriangle( t ) );
case 4:
run = false;
break;
default:
System.out.println( "you must enter 1,2,3,or 4");
}
} while( run = true );
System.out.println("Thanks for using our program");
}
}


and

public class Geometry
{

public static float areaCircle( float radius ) {
if( radius < 0 )
System.out.println("Can not have negative numbers");
return (float) (Math.PI * ( radius * radius ));
}
public static float areaRectangle(float area){
if( area < 0 )
System.out.println("Can not have negative numbers");
return (float) ( area * area );

}
public static float areaTriangle(float base){
if( base < 0 )
System.out.println("Can not have negative numbers");
return (float) ( base * height * 0.5 );

}
}


Thank you in advance

Post the code in code tags and post the compiler messages you are getting.

Check my bolding - are you serious?

No wonder you're confused - you'll confuse the users as well as yourself with prompts like that!

Remember, a rectangle has a length and a width. You need both to calculate its area. A triangle has a base and a height, you need both to calculate its area.
