========= ShapeTest.java ===========

// create another shape - circle

<h2>
Sample output:</h2>
The shape is unknown
You must define a shape first before calculating area
The area is 0.0
You must define a shape first before calculating perimeter
The perimeter is 0.0
Enter the radius of the circle
>> 12
The area is 452.448
Enter the radius of the circle
>> 12
The perimeter is 452.448
The properties of the shape are
Shape : circle
Perimeter : 75.408
Area : 452.448
The difference is 377.03999999999996
