JavaScript Math: Exercise-58 with Solution

Write a JavaScript program to calculate the volume of a Cone.

From Wikipedia -
A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat base (frequently, though not necessarily, circular) to a point called the apex or vertex.
A cone is formed by a set of line segments, half-lines, or lines connecting a common point, the apex, to all of the points on a base that is in a plane that does not contain the apex. Depending on the author, the base may be restricted to be a circle, any one-dimensional quadratic form in the plane, any closed one-dimensional figure, or any of the above plus all the enclosed points.

Sample Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>JavaScript function to Volume of a Cone</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

JavaScript Code:

const volume_Cone = (radius, height) => {
  is_Number(radius, 'Radius')
  is_Number(height, 'Height')
  return (Math.PI * radius ** 2 * height / 3.0)
}
const is_Number = (n, n_name = 'number') => {
  if (typeof n !== 'number') {
    throw new TypeError('The ' + n_name + ' is not Number type!')
  } else if (n < 0 || (!Number.isFinite(n))) {
    throw new Error('The ' + n_name + ' must be a positive values!')
  }
}
console.log(volume_Cone(3.0, 7.0))
console.log(volume_Cone('3.0', 7.0))
console.log(volume_Cone(-3.0, 7.0))

Sample Output:

65.97344572538566
