Program to calculate area of Triangle

Here we will see how to calculate area of triangle. We will see two following programs to do this:
1) Program 1: Prompt user for base-width and height of triangle.
2) Program 2: No user interaction: Width and height are specified in the program itself.

Program 1:

/**
 * @author: BeginnersBook.com
 * @description: Program to Calculate area of Triangle in Java
 * with user interaction. Program will prompt user to enter the 
 * base width and height of the triangle.
 */
import java.util.Scanner;
class AreaTriangleDemo {
   public static void main(String args[]) {   
      Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

      System.out.println("Enter the width of the Triangle:");
      double base = scanner.nextDouble();

      System.out.println("Enter the height of the Triangle:");
      double height = scanner.nextDouble();

      //Area = (width*height)/2
      double area = (base* height)/2;
      System.out.println("Area of Triangle is: " + area);      
   }
}

Output:

Enter the width of the Triangle:
2
Enter the height of the Triangle:
2
Area of Triangle is: 2.0

Program 2:

/**
 * @author: BeginnersBook.com
 * @description: Program to Calculate area of Triangle
 * with no user interaction.
 */
class AreaTriangleDemo2 {
   public static void main(String args[]) {   
      double base = 20.0;
      double height = 110.5;
      double area = (base* height)/2;
      System.out.println("Area of Triangle is: " + area);      
    }
}

Output:

Area of Triangle is: 1105.0
