PART D (20 MARKS)

Create a program to determine the surface area and volume of a cylinder. First, you need to write
the pseudo-code and draw a flowchart. You will write a complete C++ program which it is to
accept the radius and height of the cylinder from a user. Later, the program will display the
surface area and volume of a cylinder. The formula of volume and surface area of a cylinder
with its radius and height is given below:

Volume =  x r x r x h, where  is 3.14159

Surface_Area = 2 x  x r x (r + h)
