Im a dumbarse procrastinator, and could use some help on stupid VB crap... *Edited with a new question*

*New Question*


Ok, so if I want to calculate the amount of change in dollars/quarters/nickles/pennies/dimes you would get back if you input a certain amount of pennies what would the best way to do it be?


The problem Im having is If I put in say 150 pennies, I have it calculate dollars first, but I need it to give me 1 dollar instead of 1.5 for my value, and then save the rest of it for my next calculation. I tried assigning integers and decimal values to these things, but that still gives me decimal places. What would I use to get rid of decimals?!?

What I tried doing was this...

Integer2 = Val (me.numberreg.text)

If Integer2 >= 50 then
me.totalowed.text = Val(me.numberreg.text) * 8
Else

Then whatever else I would need. I got the integer2 thing out of the book, but it says integer 2 is not defined. So how would I define it? And why couldn't I just use Val(me.numberreg.text) >= 50 instead of having to substitute integer2 in there? For some reason I can't figure out exactly how its supposed to go, aieieieiarg!

eh wtf isnt this REALLLYY easy?

I dont know VB but this is the idea:

totalPrice(int registrants) {

if(registrants > 12)
return registrants * 12
else
cout<<"registrants less than 12!"
}

Its in php, but it might help :

if($numb < 50)
{
$numb *=8 ;//also $numb = $numb * 8
echo $numb;
}
else
{
echo"You fvcked up";
}

}

I don't the idea behind it, I just dont know the code to write it. Thats what I can't figure out...



thx for the try AMD, but unfortunately that doesn't really help me any

dim integer2 as integer

did you define the variable?

I haven't used VB for a long time (Perl owns me), but it'd be something like this I'd imagine:

dim foo as integer
foo = int(val(form1!text1.text))

if (foo<=50) then
form1!text2.text=int(foo*8)
else
form1!text2.text="n/a"
end if

 

[Cuda1447]

Thx for the responses guys, Ive got the first part and it works. (Reading the book helps )

Dim intNumber As Integer
Dim intNumber2 As Integer
intNumber2 = 50
intNumber = Val(Me.NumberReg.Text)
If intNumber <= intNumber2 Then
Me.TotalOwedText.Text = intNumber * 8
Else



End If


Now I just have to figure out how to display a text message that says Your an idiot if they enter a value over 50. A bit more reading will probably help me figure that out

msgbox("you're an idiot")

Thats it, I don't have to create an actual message box or anything?

nope. just put that in your if/then block.

it'll make a windows default message box. there should be more options for msgbox in your book. but the basic one should do. try it out. that's the best way to remember programming.

 

[Cuda1447]

Nevermind, I figured it out. I just used the text box I already had to display this message.


What I was trying to figure out was how to make a pop-up message, but I suppose I don't need one now

you could try the msgbox. it's very simple. maybe you'll impress your professor

 

[Cuda1447]

Haha, I'll come back to it later if I have some time. From what I saw though it did look easy. Just everything is a bit tricky at first, this is my first time EVER even looking at this stuff, and I have to do 6 chapters and a quiz by noon tomorrow

Dim i As Integer
i = InputBox("Please enter the number of registrants.")
If i >= 50 Then
MsgBox ("Please enter a number less then 50.")
Else
i = i * 8
MsgBox ("The total cost is $" &amp; i &amp; ".")

New question at the top

 

[KLin]

use the Int function. It will drop the remainder. I believe it always rounds down though.
