How do I calculate the area in this problem? I'm trying to solve this exercise about Stokes Theorem:
prove the validity of Stokes Theorem when $F(x,y,z)=(y,2x,2z)$ and $S$ is the part of the plane $z=y$ that lies in the cylinder $x^2+y^2=4y$ and $C$ is the area where the cylinder and the plane meet.
Solution:using stokes theorem $$\oint F.dR = \int \int_{S}(\operatorname {curl} F).n ds$$
From here I did some straight forward calculations.
$$\operatorname {curl}F=(0,0,1)$$
$$n= \frac {(x,y,-2)}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2+4}}$$
$$ds= \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{x^2+y^2+4}$$
And finally we have $$\oint F.dR= -\int \int 1 dxdy$$
Here's my question: first why am I getting a negative integration? And second the last double integral  means the area of what?? Or how do I determine the bounds for the integrals?
Sorry if this is dumb? I'm just so confused!

Stokes theorem:
$\iint \nabla\times F\ dS = \oint F\cdot dr$
$S$ is the piece of the plane $z = y$ bound by the cylinder.
$dS = (-\frac {\partial z}{\partial x},-\frac {\partial z}{\partial y}, 1) = (0,-1,1)$
If we stay in Cartesian, the bounds would be $-\sqrt {4y-y^2}\le x\le \sqrt {4y-y^2}, 0\le y\le 2$
In polar the bounds would be $r \le 4\sin\theta, 0\le \theta\le \pi$
However, we can short-cut around any calculations based on these bounds.
$\iint \nabla \times F\ dS = \iint dA = A$ were $A$ is the area of the cross-section of the cylinder. i.e. $4\pi$
A parameterization of the contour might be:
$x = 2\cos t, y = 2\sin t+2, z = 
2\sin t+2$
Verifing Stokes theorem:
$4\pi = \int_0^{2\pi} (2\sin t+2, 4\cos t, 4\sin t + 2)\cdot (-2\sin t, 2\cos t, 2\cos t)\ dt$
When we multiply this all out, we will only need to care about $\sin^2 t$ terms and $\cos^2 t$ terms as $\int_0^{2\pi} \sin t \ dt = \int_0^{2\pi} \cos t\ dt = \int_0^{2\pi} \sin t\cos t\ dt = 0$
$\int_0^{2\pi} -4\sin^2 t + 8\cos^2 t\ dt = 4\pi$
