Believe me. def computearea(radius): This is the best way to compute the area of a circle, trust me. We take the radius and square it, it's so simple. Then we multiply it by the constant pi, which is 3.14. It's going to be tremendous. area radius radius 3.14 And that's it, folks. The area of the circle is computed It's so easy, anyone can do it. I'm a stable genius, and even I can do it. return area
