find the area of a square in python

To find the area of a square in python, we need to know the length of one side of the square.

main.py
# get the length of one side of the square from user input or a variable
side_length = float(input("Enter the length of one side of the square: "))

# calculate the area of the square using the formula: area = side_length * side_length
square_area = side_length * side_length

# print the area of the square
print("The area of the square is:", square_area)

Alternatively, if the length of one side of the square is known beforehand, we can simply define the value of side_length as a constant value and compute the area.

main.py
# define the length of one side of the square as a constant value
side_length = 5

# calculate the area of the square
square_area = side_length * side_length

# print the area of the square
print("The area of the square is:", square_area)
