C Program to Calculate Area and Perimeter of a Circle

C program to calculate area and perimeter of a circle has been given below. Suppose, the radius of a circle is r unit, the area and perimeter of that circle would be (pi * r^2) unit^2 and (2 * pi * r) unit, respectively. The approximate value of pi is 3.141592.

For example, if the radius of a circle is 5 cm, then area of the circle would be (pi * 5^2) = 78.54 cm^2 while perimeter would be (2 * pi * r) = 31.42 cm.

The algorithm, pseudocode, and time-complexity of the program have also been covered below.
