I don't know what do you mean

[cikara21]

float theta, float cotheta ..etc..That's wrong..Should be float theta, cotheta ..etc..

[shadwickman]

You can't use:

float theta, float cotheta, float sitheta, float distance, float velocity, float time, float height;

Instead, just put float once before the whole line. Like cikara21 said:

float theta, /*float*/ cotheta, /*float*/ sitheta, /*float*/ distance, /*float*/ velocity, /*float*/ time,  /*float*/ height;

Ah! Beaten to it! :P
Now you can mark this thread as solved!
