    throw 'Can\'t create $type.';
  }

  final num radius;
  Circle(this.radius);
  @override
  num get area => pi * pow(radius, 2);
}

class Square implements Shape {
  final num side;
  Square(this.side);
  @override
  num get area => pow(side, 2);
}

main() {
  final circle = Shape('circle');
  final square = Shape('square');
  print(circle.area);
