logic error
Code:
I am using function to find the range of a projectile, but whenever I try to run the program it will return zero 0.00. Can someone help me solve this logic problem. thanks in advance.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
double distance (double a, double v, double g);
int square(int y);
int main(void)
{
double v, d, h, datha, degrees, velocity;
const int pi=3.14159265359;
const double g= 9.8;
printf(" enter the angle in degrees");
scanf("%.2f", °rees);
datha = degrees * pi/180;
printf("Enter the initial veloity\n");
scanf("%.2f\n", &v);
velocity = square(v);
d= distance(datha, velocity,g);
printf("the reange of the projectile was %.2f", d);
return 0;
}
int square(int y){
return pow(y,2);
}
double distance(double a, double v, double g ){
return v *sin(2*a)/g;
}

Well for starters int's can't contain fractional parts:
Code:
const int pi=3.14159265359; //????
Second why are you using a floating point function (pow) to return an int?
Third you are misusing the scanf() function. You need to insure the format specifier matches the variable. Your's don't match, "%f" is the specifier for a float, not a double.
Note I didn't look for any "logic" errors, the syntax errors may be your problem. You may want to insure your compiler is generating the maximum number of warnings and never ignore warnings.
