You don't get anywhere in programming by guessing and being vague. When programming you need to know exactly what you're trying to say and you need to be explicit and detailed. This is true in code, and it's true when asking for help.

Ok, so in VB.net the select case construct can be used with a keyword "to".

Select Case agerange

Case 16 To 21
MsgBox “Still Young”
Case 50 To 64
MsgBox “Start Lying”

End Select

You gotta get rid of that mangled shit.

what mangled shit? also when i replace "and Cint" with "to" it says end of statement expected

[theholycow]

I'm thinking replace
Case Is > 2 And CInt(decTxtWeight <= 6)
with
Case 2 to 6

[Cez★]

wont execute. get the same end of statement expected thing. what would be the end statement? from? :roflcrazy:

so theres a section that uses the "to" code and it goes like this

select case intScore

case is >=90
strGrade = "A"
case 80 to 89
strGrade = "B"
case 70 to 79
strGrade = "C"
Case 60 to 69
strGrade = "D"
Case 0 to 59
strGrade = "F"
Case Else
Messagebox.Show("Invalid Score")

since I've only dealt with java, feels weird not seeing { and } and ; separating things

I FUKKEN GOT IT

[theholycow]

So did you try your original code with debugging dialogues as I suggested? You'll need to turn my pseudocode into real code by looking up the way to use msgbox().

Oh, nevermind, you got it.

[Cez★]

yea. you was on right track with the "to" i think i hadnt fixed the code enough with the "to" to run smoothly. lemme copy it over from parallels

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

Select Case decTxtWeight

Case Is <= 2
decMileageCost = 0.01D

Case 2 To 6
decMileageCost = 0.015D

Case 6 To 10
decMileageCost = 0.02D

Case 10 To 20
decMileageCost = 0.025D
End Select

i had left most of it with "case is 10 to 20" and similar and wouldnt execute. ran it fixed and enterd all my example values and teh results match

[theholycow]

I figured the "is" had to go if you wanted to use "to". That whole bullshit with the way it was before looked like 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag.

Now, there is a minor logic error that will probably get you marked down a couple points.

Case 2 To 6
decMileageCost = 0.015D

Case 6 To 10
decMileageCost = 0.02D

If it's 6, it could match both of those statements. There will probably be a predictable, consistent result, but it's still sloppy enough for the teacher to mark off. (Same problem with 2 and 10.) That is, unless VB.net is smart enough to handle that situation officially properly.

[Cez★]

should i change the 2nd 2 to 3, the 6 to 7 and 10 to 11?

[theholycow]

Is the input guaranteed to be an integer? If not, are you allowed to convert it to an integer? That's where you could use CInt...

[Cez★]

no. i got a 1.5 in there.

[stonehenge]

Will teacher be a doosh and enter a negative number or letter or something?

wont matter. if he did a check is in place to bring up a pop up box saying it cant be less than zero

can get w8 thru work. Gonna put it on craptop and see if I can bypass as much Metro UI as possible

[stonehenge]

installed W8 Pro this morning:



So far I have found the Metro shit annoying in a couple ways and not annoying in a couple ways.

It still functions roughly the same as a Start Menu for the way I use the Start Menu. I rarely navigate the start Menu on W7. I just hit the Windows key and type what I want then choose it from the list that comes up. The new Metro UI works the same way so I'm okay with it in that respect. Clicking "Desktop" takes you to the normal Windows UI (sans start menu) so normal usage hasn't changed much if you don't play with the Metro Apps.

The annoying parts... hitting the Windows key again doesn't hide Metro, either does the escape key. You have to click the Desktop tile every time, unless I'm missing a hotkey. Also, to shut down you have to hit the Windows key, move your mouse to the corner, click settings, click Power, then click Shutdown/Restart/Sleep. Way too many steps for that.

So far I have disabled the lockscreen at boot so it goes straight to the login window and I setup a bat file that will automatically jump to the Desktop after booting up so it doesn't go straight to Metro after logging in.

Must play with this shit more but definitely not putting this on my Desktop anytime soon.

[theholycow]

It's 2012, there's another version of Windows, and we still have to fix it using the same old DOS .BAT files.

[stonehenge]

bat files ftw
