last fuction problem

[micah1983]

i need to write a fuction called fallingDistance that accepts an objects falling time as an argument. The fuction should return the distance, in meters, that the object has fallen during that time interval. write a program that demonstrates the function by calling it in a loop that passes the values 1 through 10 as arguments, and displays the return value. i'm at a lost on this one.

can anybody give me the basic skeleton of the program and i can go from there.
just tell me what comes before the int main() and if i need any #include besides <iostream>, also were do i put d=1/2gt^2. if i should put the loop after the int main() or near the end of the program.

Assuming u are using C++ d=1/2gt^2 is the same as d=1/2*g*t*t
If u use a for loop i=0;i<10;i++ and assign i to t successively ( t=i) then u should be able to print out d for values of t between 0<t<10.
The function fallingDistance() could include the for loop ,the formula and a cout>> statement. Const double g=32.2 or 980 should probably be declared globally above main(). About the only code in main() would be the function call. Have a go at it and post your code if u need help.

[code][#include <iostream>
namespace std;

double fallingDistance(double, double, double)

int main ()
{
double d, g, t;

cout << "Giving the G and the T I will give you the D ";
cin >> d
return d;
}
double fallingDistance(double, double, double)

{

)
[code]
i got this so far i dont know if that right, if it is where do i put the for loop and the d=1/2gt^2. if its not right what do i need to change.

I'm astonished that a moderator or expert has not admonished you for opening 4 threads on an identical subject. 1 thread 1 subject.

const double g=32.2 //above main()
double fallingDistance()//no arguements required

{   
 for (int i=0;i<10;i++)
    int t =i+1,d;
   d=0.5*g*t*t;
   cout<<d<<" ";
   cout<<endl;
}

//should print 10 values of d for each second 1 to 10

[micah1983]

#include <iostream>
namespace std;

double fallingDistance()
const double = 32.2
int main ()
{
    double d, g, t;
	cout << "Giving the G and the T I will give you the D ";
    cin >> d
    return d;
}
     double fallingDistance()
{   
   double g, t, d;
   for (int i=0;i<10;i++)
   int t =i+1,d;
   d=0.5*g*t*t;
   cout << d << " "; << endl;
}           

here is the code let me know if it is alright or if i'm missing something.
