I hate programming

[eshtog]

well I have a assignment one part of the assignment is a user inouts a word, then types in what letter he wants to find in another text box and I am supposed to have a msg box pop up telling him in what position that letter is in, this what I have programmed so far

thanks and I know I suck

This would be better off posted in the software forum.

 

[alphatarget1]

LOL yet another business majors b!tching about their major.

 

[DT4K]

It should be a crime to teach programming to business majors.

By the way, the solution to your problem is a single line of code using a built in function that VB.Net provides for you. But if you are too damn lazy to do it yourself, you'll probably find someone willing to do it for you in the correct forum area.

 

[maziwanka]

how can someone b!tch about this assignment? it has to be one of the simplest things i've seen

 

[PoPPeR]

You know what sucks. 99% of the universities I'm trying to transfer to want regular intro to computer information systems. So I'm taking that. Then out of the blue, Arizona State tells me that yes, their business majors need to take that too... unless you're an accounting major. Then you have to take visual basic. So now I get to take that next semester too. Fortunately I already have experience with it, but I don't see how its supposed to help me in accounting more than regular comp info systems would.

 

[AmigaMan]

You guys are missing the point. This actually training for real-world situations. You see, when they graduate, the people with MBA's just pawn off work to other people and take credit for it. Just like in college they'll just find some compsci geek to do their work for them and take credit for it in the end. They're just talking heads that like to look pretty in meetings.

 

[Gibson486]

you gonna start complaining about your business calc class too?

Sounds like someone's bitter... :disgust:

 

[Descartes]

Uhh, what exactly did you "program there"? It's the code generated from dropping a few controls on a form in Visual Studio .NET. I see one line of executable code that's yours, and you're already saying you can't hack it?

If you don't step up and take credit for something, then someone else will. That's just the way life is. If you want something, then you have to step up and get it. You can't always expect others to make sure credit is properly divided. It might be unfortunate, but it's a reality.

Don't be so passive and you won't have these "talking heads" taking advantage.

Many business jobs will require interfacing/presenting data.

Helps to know the tools that you may be using.

lol that is like 5 lines of code in c++, and he has like 5 pages of code.

You are going to have a windows form with buttons and text boxes in C++ with 5 lines of code?
:roll: I don't think so.
If you do, the rest of the code is just hidden.

As Descartes already said, all that code is generated automatically when you open a windows form project, and drag a button and text boxes on to the form. It's actually very cool that you can see all that code. Much better than VB6 where it's just hidden from you.

As an accountant, you might have some really good reasons to write VBA code for Excel.

it says nothign about a windows form. it could be a cmd prompt window type display for all i know.

and if thats the case, it is declaring 1 variable, getting 2 inputs, and displaying the result.

int main(){
char word[30], letter;
cin >> word >> letter;
cout << "The letter you chose is the number ";
for (int a = 0; a < size(word), a++){ if (word[a] == letter){ cout << word[a] << " letter\n"; a = size(word); } }
return 0; }

sorry ... 6 lines of code , not counting the error checking if the letter does not exist at all, or if it exists a few times, or any of the other things he didnt give specifications on.

It says text box.
And like I said, all that code is generated for you automatically.
As far as actually writing code, you should be able to do it in vb.Net with ONE line of code.

ah okay, didnt see the text box thing until i read it a third time. and i haven't done VB before so i wouldn't know.

 

[Ranger X]

Business majors are expected to know at least VB for business applications. Just be glad you're not learning a real programming language.

Not bitter, but that's just the way it usually works. I'm fine with it. As I like to quote, "speak softly, yet carry a big stick", or something like that. anyways, people around me know that when I speak, it's usually for a good reason.

No offense intended, but if you don't know then you don't know .NET. It's so obviously a Windows Form that any question automatically indicates an almost complete lack of knowledge on the subject.

You don't have to know VB; however, you do have to know .NET. The calls are the same as in any .NET language, the classes are the same, it inherits from System.Windows.Forms.Form, etc.

:beer:

No need to put them down... as programmers... once a grunt, always a grunt...
