If the 'sin' function is the problem, all you have to do is include
<math.h> at the top of your source file, add your code, and compile
the stuff. Don't forget to link in the math library (check your
manuals for the correct command line flags) and voila!

Here are some formulas:

	- V(0) is the initial velocity
	- Vv(0)= V(0)*sin(angle) is the vertical component
	- Vv(t)= Vv(0)-g*t (g == gravity ~ 9.81 m/s^2)

And remember, whatever goes up comes down; here's some code:

int O,o,Oo=10*0x11; main(){for (O=!0<<!0<<!0<<!0,
O++; O--;o++)printf(O?"%*s%s":"%*s\n%s%*s\n%x%x%"
"x%xrghh %s\n",O?o++:o+!0,O?".":"\\,/",O?"\n\n\n"
"\n\n\n\n\n\n"+O: "",o,"|",Oo,Oo,Oo,Oo," /0\\");}
