He wanted it quick, but the time between posts was longer than it would have taken, like 2 minutes.

 

Not even that... In fact, it would have taken longer to type up the OP than write the elseif clause he wanted...

Anyone who can not use If statements, case select, or for if loops should not

be in a programming class.

Programming classes are there to teach, are they not? 

 

Although I think if someone has trouble with something this simple, they might want to take up another skill. Like knitting.

Yep, I learned LONG ago that programming was not for me.

10 price = 7.50
20 if age > 62 then price = 5.50
30 if age < 20 then price = 4.50
40 if age < 12 then price = 3.50
50 if age < 6 then price = 0

 

Wait, was this supposed to be in Commodore 64 BASIC?

 

(Yes, this is a horrible example of coding, it's deliberate)

Tbh it seems the OP didn't even try to do this.

if you pseudocode what is required for this you have pretty much written the code....especially considering its to be written in vb.

if x = x then

y = y

else

if x = z then

y = y1

else

'etcetceyc

if you are doing a programming course OP and your posting like this.......you wont get far im sorry.

Write an If..ElseIf  statement (or Select Case if you prefer) given the following:

 

decTicketPrice                    ?ticket price

intAge                                  ?age of customer   

 

If customer's age is less than 6, ticket price is Free

 

If customer's age is 6 to 12, ticket price is $3.50

 

If customer's age is 13 to 19, ticket price is $4.50

 

If customer's age is over 62, ticket price is $5.50

 

Otherwise, ticket price is $7.50

All values of age were covered in the criteria; so no need for any 'else' statements.

 

But if you insist:

 

float decTicketPrice = 7.50;   // default ticket price

if (intAge < 6) decTicketPrice = 0.00 // under 6 are free

     else decTicketPrice = 3.50; // 6 and over base price is 3.50

 

/* The above statement just screwed up the teacher's requirement */

/* of an 'otherwise' ticket price since the customer is either under 6 */

/* or 6 or above. Dumb teacher giving dumb assignment fails.         */

 

if (intAge > 12) decTicketPrice += 1.00; // over 12 adds a dollar

if (intAge > 62) decTicketPrice += 1.00; // over 62 adds another dollar

  • 0

All values of age are covered; no need for any 'else' statements.

 

float decTicketPrice = 0.00;

if (intAge >= 6) decTicketPrice += 3.50;

if (intAge >= 12) decTicketPrice += 1.00;

if (intAge >= 62) decTicketPrice += 1.00;

VB doesn't use semicolons to end a line ;)

if (intAge >= 62) decTicketPrice += 1.00;

 

Doesn't cover the $7.50 cost if they are between 19 and 62.

Doesn't cover the $7.50 cost if they are between 19 and 62.

Okay.

unsigned int intAge

// should be unsigned because negative ages aren't possible

// char is also permissible since people aren't likely to be > 255 years old

 

float decTicketPrice = 7.50   // default ticket price

 

if (intAge < 6) decTicketPrice = 0.00 // under 6 and you're in for free!

if (intAge > 5) and (intAge < 13) decTicketPrice += -4.00 // nice discount.

if (intAge > 12) and (intAge < 20) decTicketPrice += -3.00 // decent discount

if (intAge > 62) decTicketPrice += -2.00 // why the hate for senior citizens?

 

 

Still, no real reason for "else" conditions.

Start with the default and go.

Okay.

 

float decTicketPrice = 7.50

if (intAge <6 ) decTicketPrice = 0.00

if (intAge >5 ) and (intAge < 13) decTicketPrice += -4.00

if (intAge > 12) and (intAge <20) decTicketPrice += -3.00

if (intAge > 62) decTicketPrice += -2.00

 

 

Still, no real reason for "else" conditionals.

The reason is the assignment called for it.

 

Assignments are rarely designed to be the most efficient, but rather to teach a concept.

 

Not that it matters, the OP is clueless and wanted a handout.  And got it.

True, I suppose.

I always received 'extra credit' for thinking beyond the assignment though.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
