The surface area is correct, however the volume is not. The formula is correct so I cannot figure out why it's not working as expected.

4/3 = 1

#

that's integer division

#

do 4/3d or 4d/3 or 4d/3d or 4/3.0 etc etc

#

since you're storing stuff in doubles, use nextDouble instead of nextFloat to get more accuracy

#

also consider using printf to get the precision you need
