I go from the main floor of my house to the basement several times a day and it never counts as a flight of stairs. But in a commercial building, where the ceilings are around 12 feet instead of the 8 feet in a private home, it counts the flight of stairs. So the question is, is a flight of stairs 12 feet? 10 feet?
How many steps in a flight, and how high is a step, forget it, this isn't helping.
8 year old code, how clumsy.
But it did raise another question.
At what point does a series of steps become a flight of stairs? Try as I might the transition point remains elusive.
The transition is when the series of steps is interrupted - like at a landing. In theory that could be hundreds of stairs. Why anyone would do that, I don't know. 😕
Oh, now I remember what may be a flight of stairs consisting of thousands of stairs - the stairway to heaven. 😁
It's quicker if you descend 👿
There's no flight of stairs down. You just go straight to 👿. Not even Dante walked.
Dante took the long way around.😉
Yeah, but that was because it took a while to warm up to the place. 😁😁
For Fitbit, a flight of stairs equals roughly 10 feet of vertical climb (you don't get credit for descent!). I bet Apple chose roughly the same measure.
My understanding is a 10' change in elevation equates to a flight to stairs.
Perhaps mention the name of the app you are talking about...
How high is a flight of stairs?
