Hey, need help with Dropping ball and Bouncing
Hey everyone. Im having a bugger of a time with this program. Basically, im not sure if its right. I have to set a height for a ball to drop from, then ask how many bounces would you like to calculate. The results are how many times it bounced (negligable bounces are of .00001 feet.). I also have to show how many feet and INCHES (so it would show like 12 feet, 3 inches) it bounced. Not like 12.34 inches or somethinng. Am i doing this right? and if anyone can point me in the direction of doing it the right way, that would help
