| Fortunately, the code is not entirely complete; you have a fantastic opportunity to fix it! Modify the code to make the spring oscillate appropriately. Also, add some lines of code so that you can change the acceleration due to gravity and perform a check to make sure the value is in the "down" direction (the "up" direction is set as positive). Make sure that the acceleration due to gravity is reported in the window that prints the mass and spring constant. Once you have verified that your code is running properly, complete the following questions. | Fortunately, the code is not entirely complete; you have a fantastic opportunity to fix it!
