Circle Calculator

I was sitting in Math class, punching numbers into my clculator to get the Area, Diameter, Circumference, etc., when i came up with the idea for this Calculator. Just adjust the Circle Size to the desired size, and tap twice to calculate, its saved me lots of time! I plan
on adding lots more

fill(0, 0, 0, 255)
text("Drag to Calculate", 10, HEIGHT-50)
    -- This sets a dark background color 
    fill(255, 255, 255, 255)
    ellipseMode(CORNER)
ellipse( 100,100,CircleSize)
       Diameter = CircleSize
        Circumference = math.pi * CircleSize/2
        Radius = CircleSize/2
        Area = math.pi * Radius*Radius
end
    -- This sets the line thickness

    -- Do your drawing here

Some one please help with the formatting! I put it between tildes and this is what happens, ive done it before without this happening

click enter after typing the three tildes

thanks for the program

The tildes must be on a line by themselves with no leading spaces.

CodeaNoob, if you need some ideas to improve this program and perhaps learn more about Codea:

a1) Why double tap? Make calculations a live update.

a2) CircleSize is the same as the diameter, please make it obsolete, especially as the “size of a circle” is quite ambiguous. Will almost automatically be a result of solving a1.

b) Make it a bit more outstanding by adjusting the circle’s size by touching the screen and setting the radius to your finger’s position. This assumes you already know (or learn about) the circle equation.

Here’s some simple additions that add touch functionality

    Diameter = Radius*2 -- Set all values based off of Radius
    Circumference = math.pi * Radius
    Area = math.pi * math.pow(Radius, 2) -- A slightly more formal way to write Radius times itself

    textAlign(CENTER)
      font("AmericanTypewriter-Light")
    fontSize(25)
    fill(0, 0, 0, 255)
    text("Drag to Calculate", WIDTH/2, HEIGHT-50)
    fill(255, 255, 255, 255)
    ellipseMode(RADIUS)
    ellipse(WIDTH/2, HEIGHT/2, Radius) -- Draw circle with the Radius
end

function touched(t)
    Radius = math.min(vec2(WIDTH/2, HEIGHT/2):dist(vec2(t.x, t.y)), 350) 
         --adjust cirlce size to the touch's distance from the circle'center                       
end

The circle can be updated by either physically dimensioning the circle on the screen, or by using the parameter slider to get a slightly more accurate dimension
