please help i have this problem with this vb program its bloody hard t

[naz]

please i need help on this vb question

Please help I have this major problem with vb not that good but can you give me tips on finishing the code off and I have put the in details what problems does and the question that I need to do. I have this program with some missing data and some incorrect code. The xxxxxx signs are the variables and missing code.

The outline off the program

The file contains an unknown number of lines, each of contains three items of

data : x xxxxxxxxx?x x xxx., which is a string, xxxx xxx (integer), and xxxx xxxxxxxxx (also integer). The three data items are in order to shown, so a typical line in the file would have form.

?xxxx, x x?, 22990, 5220

showing xxxxx xxx of ?22990, and a xxxx xxxxxxxxx of ?5220 for. xxxxx, x x.

How ever, some of the figures for xxx and xxxxxxxxx are missing, and are represented in the file by -999. a line like.

?xxxxx, x?, -999, 0

for example, would indicate a missing value for xxxxx xxx, and xxxxx xxxxxxxxx of 0

A zero values does not indicate missing data.

?xxxxx, x?, 15225, -999

would indicate xxxxx xxx of ?15225 and a missing value for the xxxxx xxxxxxxxx.

When the program detects a missing value, it is to ask the user to enter it.

Apart from the possible presence of -999 to indicate a missing value, all of the numbers in the file may be to valid, i.e. to between 0 and 32767 (the maximum permissible integer). My program should assume that any missing data entered by the user also lie in this range.

The program is to take the figures for each xxxxxxxx in the file, and calculate the xxx xx xxxx, and the xxxxxxx?x xxxxxxxx, according to the following rules

? The xxxxxxx xx is to be calculated as the xxxxx xxx xxxxx xxx xxxxx xxxxxxxxx unless the xxxxx xxxxxxxxx is greater than the xxxxx xxx, in which case the xxxxxx xxx is 0

? xx xxx xx xxxx xx xxx xxxxx ?5000 xx xxx xxxxxxx xxx;

20% is xxxx xx xxxx ?10000;

45% is xxxx xx xxxxxxx xxxxx ?15000

xxx is to be calculated correct 2 decimal places

{ to calculate 20% of a figure, multiply it by 0.2: for 45% multiply by 0.45.}

? Anyone xxxxxx xx xxx xx xxxxxxxxxxxx xx ?xxx xxxxx?;

Anyone xxxxxx xxxx 20% xxx xx xxxxxxxxxxx xx ?xxxxxxxxx xxxxx?:

Anyone else is xxxxxxxxxxx xx ?xxxx xxxxx?

The program is to output the following line of information for each xxxxxxxx xxxx, xxxxx xxx, xxx , xxxxxxxxx

The output should be displayed in a picture box and also written to an output file named (I:xxx_xxxx.txt) the number of records dealt with so far should then be displayed in the text box.

After all of the input file is processed, the program is to display a message to tell the user that processing is complete.

I project xxxxxx.vbp has a partially completed interface, with two Command buttons, a text box, and a picture box. It also has some incomplete/ incorrect codefor function xxxxxxxx already entered, and numerour comments.

What needs to be done

1. write a subprogram xxxxxxxxx, to check whether there are missing values for the xxxxx xxx xxx/xx xxxxx xxxxxxxxx, and obtain any missing values from the user (i.e. to implement your refinement of step ?xxxxx xxx xxx xxxxx xxxxxxx xxxx?)

When the subprogram ends, the arguments should contain the complete set of data

2. The function xxxxxxxxxx is intended to take in the values, of the xxxxx xxx xxx xxxxx xxxxxxxx viathe first two parameters, and calculate the xxx xxxxxxx xxx xxx xxxxxxxx (?xxx xxxxxxx?, ?xxxxxxx xxxxx? xx ?xxxx xxxxxx?). The string representing the xxx xxxxxxx is to be stored in the argument; and the xxx xxxxxxx is to be returned as and logical errors. For this I need to rewrite the code.

3. The code for event procedure xxxxxxxx_xxxxx() requires a loop starting where indicate by the comments

?start of main processing loop

And finishing where indicated by the comment

?End of main processing loop

the code

----------------------------

Option Explicit

Dim xxxxxxxxxxx As Integer

------------------------------

Private Sub Form_Load()

'OPEN THE input file

'open the output file

'INITIALISE xxxxxxxxxxx

End Sub

2) ------------------------------------

Private Sub cmdDiscardWaste_Click()

'DECLARE LOCAL VARIABLES

'START THE MAIN PROCESSING LOOP

'GET next line of data from input

'increment xxxxxxxxxxx and display xxxxx in text box (xxxxxxxx)

'Check for and obtain missing data using sub xxxxxxxxxx

'Calculate xxx xxxxxxx AND xxxxxxxx using function xxxxxxxxxxx

'DISPLAY xxxxxxxxx 'x xxxxxxx in the picturebox (xxxxxxxxx)

'And store them in the outputfile

'End of main loop.

End Sub

3 )----------------------------------------------------------------

'Private Function xxxxxxxxxxx(xxx xx xxxxxxx, xxxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxx, xxx xx xxxxxx)

Dim xxx xx xxxxxx, xxxxxxxxxx, xxxxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxx = xxx - xxxxxxxxx

Select Case xxxxxxxxx

Case Is <= 5000

xxx = 0

xxx = "xxx xxxxxx"

Case 5001 xx 15000

xxx = 0.2 * (xxxxxxxxxx - 5000)

xxx = "xxxxxxxx xxxxxx"

Case xxxx

xxx = 0.45 * (xxxxxxxxxx)

End Select

End Function

:disappoin i am desperate please help, you really make my day !!!, some one out there must know how do it

cya naz:right:

Use less "xxxxxxxx". Use more real names. Can't understand a single thing in that post.

Yes, it's almost impossible to understand what you're trying to say.

'Check for and obtain missing data using sub valid

'Calculate money AND stuff using function addup

'DISPLAY that is right in the picturebox (Picoutput)

'And store them in the outputfile

'End of main loop.

End Sub

LOL. You're kidding, right? Do you really want me to reply like this?

"You're missing the xxxx xxxxx from the xxxxxxxx. Without xxxx/xxx, your code will be xxxxxxxxxxx inside the xxxxxxxxx. Your function, xxxxx_ xx_xxxx_xxx(), doesn't have the xxx xx xxx/xxx implemented correctly. Try using xx or x instead."

Seriously, what is this program used for? Do you have to keep this code secret or something? Usually, it helps if youvery clear and simpled simple description of what your program/assignment is supposed to do. For example:

"I'm writing a file parser, but my file won't open. I think the problem lies here..."

[naz]

its assignment, can just give some code to do that please

Do what? What is this program used for? It's hard to code something if you don't know what it does.

[naz]

thanx for looking at it, all that is a program to input stuff, open file, write to file and if statement a loop, and input box. its for working out stuff

cya naz

[Oogle]

And which part are you having problems with? Choose a number...

1. "Input stuff"
   
2. "Open file"
   
3. "Write to file"
   
4. "if statement a loop" (?!)
   
5. "Input box"
   
6. "Working out stuff" ( my favorite ;) )
   

[naz]

its this part off the program i know its hard, that only thing i can't work out.

1. write a subprogram xxxxxxxxx, to check whether there are missing values for the xxxxx xxx xxx/xx xxxxx xxxxxxxxx, and obtain any missing values from the user

When the subprogram ends, the arguments should contain the complete set of data

6 working out stuff

[Oogle]

And what on earth does this mean?

xxxxx xxx xxx/xx xxxxx xxxxxxxxx

How about translating it into something I can read? For example...

car/boat

1/2

$50/$600

[naz]

I THINK IT MEAN xxxxx xxx xxx/xx xxxxx xxxxxxxxx =

PEOPLE/MARKS

i was talking to my friend he said you can use any made up variables

[naz]

[Rudy]

chill man, hes just trying to help you....its not our fault if we cant understand ur x's i mean what if i blur some **** like "@@@ @@@....@@()/@@ @@@ @@@@@@ @"

i mean dont expect us to understand what ur talking about......if u want us to understand well be more specific

[naz]

any way thanx for looking at it.

cya naz

[hornetfighter]

the thing is, to my understanding, that the 'x's are what he needs to replace with meaningful identifiers and code fragments. i.e. he's been told to "fill in the blanks"

[Oogle]

OIC. It's like madlibs for coders. Whoever made up an assignment with descriptions like this is on crack...

Anyone else is xxxxxxxxxxx xx ?xxxx xxxxx?

[Winston]

man not to say but i soo swear this is sumfing as easy as making a command button on the form

but gees its hard to understand the x's im getting lost

and i cant sit there coutning his x's lol

i dont think he even understands u want him to subsitute something for the x's

man can you give us an example??

of instead of using x's

use like if you wanted it to be like this

xxxxxx-xxxx

iamthe-best

that would be way easier to understand

p.s. sorry :p

[adam2001]

Oogle: Crack LOL

Naz ive got a tip for you, go the god damn lectures. How are we supposed to understand what your trying to write if you cant understand it yourself.

For incrementation in a loop you just need a simple thing near the end of the loop saying:

Let (variable) = (variable) + 1

If statement loop youd need something like a "FOR" loop with an If statement inside the loop so it keeps checking or someat like that.

Input box:

Let (variable) = inputbox("What you want user to do here"), vbOKCancel (i think thats valid cant remember)

Message box:

Let (variable) = Msgbox("Tell the user some rubbish"), vbOKOnly

for stuff like checking you need something like:

Sub txt(text box name)_change()

' Checks to see if there is a non-numerical value being entered into the box, if there is

' it display a prompt box for you to change it to a numerical value

Let frm(form name).txt(text box name).Text = Validatenum(frm(form name).txt(text box name).Text)

End Sub

That goes in the form code. Then in a module you need to put in something like this:

Public Function Validatenum(sInput)

While Not IsNumeric(Format(sInput, "general number"))

Let sInput = InputBox("Please enter a number only into the box")

Wend

Let Validatenum = sInput

End Function

This is basically how it works. The last thing can be executed when the user types something in. So whenever she hits a key it checks to see if its numerical, if not then an inpubox pops up and she is forced to type in a numerical value. It can also be executed onBlur (when the cursor is clicked elsewhere), onFocus (when the cursor is clicked in the box), onLoad, onUnload, when you click a command button (this is mostly best).

Using that little bit of checking code in different places like command buttons and stuff like that my program was unbreakable. You could have thrown a sledgehammer at it and it wouldnt have broke.

Hope that helps.

Oh and the bit about calculating stuff. Im sorry but if you cant even write a simple line to calculate something then you may as well give up now mate cus you aint got a hope in hell of getting loops.

if you want me to send you a program that i did for my mate for his first year at uni then PM me. Its very simple but should be able to help you loads.

[adam2001]

Oh yeah naz all that onblur and stuff for get that stuff thats stuff for Javascript LOL i hate it when your doing numerous programming languages you always get it mixed up hahahaha

[naz]

sorry about, i am going put a gun to my lectures head blow his brains out.

thanx very much
