Random tests can generate zeroes for any dimension, is that ok?
Changed it so each dimension is at least 1
The Last Frontier: Random Tests!

Nice work.
May I suggest using smaller numbers for the random tests though?
Math.random()\*1000should do quite nicely, and keeps the returned values on the order of1e12, which prevents integer inaccuracies.Volumes ~
1e23are a bit big. Well, huge. Gargantuan. Astronomical. Gawed they're big!Done!
Also, explanation of length should be added.
To most people, this thing looks like a bar, not a prism, mathematical definition notwithstanding.
I expected a shape with four slanted edges, not two, until Google.
I will change the description to try and make it more clear.
I have provided a link to a picture of the prism with the different lengths labelled, does that make it clear enough? Thanks for the input.
Ought to be good enough. Thanks!
Length of height side is not equal to height.
Your math is wrong, either for calculation of area or volume.
Height is the distance between a and b, which means I have calculated it wrong. I have made the changes.
Please let me know if it now works for you.
Yep. Works.

Hi, height is the distance between a and b, not the length of the sloped sides. I had calculated it wrong, you were on the right track.
I have made a few changes. Please have another go and tell me if it is more clear and if it works for you. Thanks for the input!
