dotnet general : help with my homework
this one step. getting 18-35 together and 36-50 and so on. here is my code how can i get them combined in one line instead of writing it out a million times. please help me. i have to write a program that you type in the age and it stores it in a text file then i have to catagorize them and when i hit the read button it shows how many times 18-35 was typed in, then how many times 36-50 was typed in and so on. If strRecord.Remove(0, 2) = 18 Then strEighteen = strEighteen + 1 ElseIf strRecord.Remove(0, 2) = 36 Then strThirtySix = strThirtySix + 1 End If Loop it works if i put individual numbers in and continue it down but that is alot of code and i am sure there is an easier way oh also how can i get the program not to input the under 18 here is my code am i missing something? If Me.txtAge.Text <=18 Then MessageBox.Show("Your age must be 18 or older thank you", "POA", _ MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information, _ MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1, _ MessageBoxOptions.DefaultDesktopOnly) End If when i type in 17 for the age it still puts it in the text file. i need it to not store in the text file if it is less than 18. ok well that is my queestions please help me thanks very much Tommy
First of all, what is "Advanced Visual Basic"?? Isn't that an oxymoron?
Anyway, my advice is that if you can't solve this trivial problem on your own, either go back to "Basic Visual Basic" or pick a different course of study, because you'll be screwed when you get to the difficult problems. JMHO.
Mostly we don't help with homework, however a little help to bring you on

Admittedly the juxtaposition of "Advanced" and "Basic" might seem oxymoronic, but the fact of the matter is that there's very little that Visual Basic.NET can't do as compared to C#. I do believe that the gap between the languages will grow in future, e.g iterators, and anonymous methods in C#2 and static form instances in VB.NET2 (shudder), but right now they're on a pretty similar footing. If you can't have Advanced Visual Basic.NET, you can't have Advanced .NET. Unless perhaps you feel that the only advanced .NET programming is found in unsafe code blocks?

And I take it you sprang from you mothers womb with a full-fledged knowledge of all programming idioms? We should be encouraging beginners to learn rather than trying to smash their self-confidence. Keep in mind that the marketers for these courses call them Advanced this and Expert that, but generally they all start off as beginner programming courses, the difference between them being where they end up. Using the courses name to hammer a beginner with hardly seems fair. [quoted text, click to view] > > JMHO.
It's a shame that neither responder thought to actually help you.
First off, when you get a value as a result of an expression, and you want to use it in a comparison, it is often best to store the value in a variable of the proper type. You are taking a string and converting to an integer in the IF expression. This is cool for VB, but it can lead to some confusion, as you can see here. Also, if you are using the 'str' prefix to mean 'String' then you are adding an integer to a string, which causes TWO data conversions (first from string to int for the addition, then back to string for storage). Declare the counter variables to be Integer. So, first off: Dim Numval as Integer Dim ct18 as Integer Dim ct35 as Integer Numval = strRecord.Remove(0,2) Now put that number into your logical expression: If (Numval > 17) and (Numval < 36) Then ct18 = ct18 + 1 Else If (Numval >35) and (Numval < 51) Then ct35 = ct35 + 1 End If Also: [quoted text, click to view] > oh also how can i get the program not to input the under 18 here is my > code am i missing something? > Your code block looks fine. It's the code that follows the End If that worries me. You appear to be putting up a message box and then proceeding with the logic. You need to have your routine return inside the 'If' block, or put the logic for writing the record in an 'Else' block.

Sorry about that,Cor. My ISP sometimes drops news messages. I don't see
your response. (or are you just pulling my leg :-) -- --- Nick Malik [Microsoft] MCSD, CFPS, Certified Scrummaster http://blogs.msdn.com/nickmalik Disclaimer: Opinions expressed in this forum are my own, and not representative of my employer.

Nick,
I dont use my ISP anymore, I go directly to (by instance for this newsgroup) news://news.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.dotnet.general Although Google is as well good at time. http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.general/browse_frm/thread/8b52c54fc2216a3b/6dfdd860e5242b7c#6dfdd860e5242b7c And I never will write things that could confuse an OP, maybe a regular understand it, however a newbie does not. Cor
