### Aim ### Aim
To write a basic `Python` program to prompt for a floating point number, read it in, perform basic arithmetic and print out the result. To write a basic `Python` program to prompt for a floating point number, read it in, perform basic arithmetic and print out the result.
### Task ### Task
Write a `Python` program to calculate and output the radius and surface area of a sphere from its volume. Write a `Python` program to calculate and output the radius and surface area of a sphere from its volume.
Your program should: Your program should:
1. Prompt for the volume of a sphere in $mm^3$. 1. Prompt for the volume of a sphere in $mm^3$.
2. Calculate and print out to the terminal the radius and the surface area of the sphere in m and $m^2$ respectively in an understandable format. 2. Calculate and print out to the terminal the radius and the surface area of the sphere in m and $m^2$ respectively in an understandable format.
Check your program works for a range of volumes, both large and small and that you have the output units correct. Check your program works for a range of volumes, both large and small and that you have the output units correct.

### Checkpoint ### Checkpoint
- Check carefully that you have fullfilled at least the assessement criteria below. Call a demonstrator, show them your code, and run your program with the following input volumes: - Check carefully that you have fullfilled at least the assessement criteria below. Call a demonstrator, show them your code, and run your program with the following input volumes:
- $1.4\times10^6\,\text{mm}^3$ - $1.4\times10^6\,\text{mm}^3$
- $3.7\times10^{-4}\,\text{mm}^3$ - $3.7\times10^{-4}\,\text{mm}^3$
- Ensure that the demonstrator finds you in Learn. Please check that your pass/fail (0/1) has been entered correctly (you should be able to see this in Learn). - Ensure that the demonstrator finds you in Learn.
