Ok, so I need to calculate each individuals planets distance from the sun. These are the values.

Sun (0)
Mercury (0.579)
Venus (1.082)
Earth (1.496)
Mars (2.279)
Jupiter (7.786)
Saturn (14.335)
Uranus (28.725)
Neptune (44.951)
Moon (0.0)
Moon2 (0.0)

I need to create a function, so I was trying to define the above as double range. And then put a separate function like below

void rangefromSun (){
        
range*scaleDistance


}

I then could easily get the distance in the code by using

glTranslated(rangefromsun, 0.0, 4.9);

Any help of how to do this properly?

Thanks

Can you please post your entire code?

It will be more helpful to understand what exactly you want.

You may want to study the excellent function tutorials linked in my signature. They should help explain how to properly create and use functions.
