Wyo VB Ch1Proj1

Write a program that allows the user to order a certain quantity of products from your store. The user must be able to type a number into a textbox and click a button to see the total amount of money that he/she owes in a label. Place another label next to that label with a message something like "Total cost is $". You can make up the name of your store and the name of the single product that you sell. Make sure though that your program is user-friendly and attractive. You must include another button that displays the exact message "Programmed by John Doe." in a message box when clicked (but change John Doe to your name). You must also have a Clear button in the lower left of the form window and an Exit button in the lower right corner of the form window. The Clear button should at least clear the textbox. For this assignment, you do not have to rename your objects with meaningful names and appropriate prefixes. That is, your labels can be named Label1, Label2, etc. and your buttons can be named Button1, Button2, and so on. Preconditions: The user will not type in negative quantitites or quantities greater than 1000.

Staple your printouts in the following order: 1. VB code 2. The screen capture of your actual form window at runtime after a successful test case. See the instructor if you do not know how to create a screen capture. 9|Page

Variable Naming Conventions
Begin each variable name with a letter or underscore. Variable names can only contain letters, underscore, and numbers. Make your variable names descriptive by combining one or more words, e.g. SalesTaxRate Capitalize the first letter of each word of the variable names. Dont use Visual Vasic keywords, objects or properties as variable names. If you do, you will get an error when you try to run your program.

Slide 3
Relational Operators
< <= > >= = <> less than less than or equal to greater than greater than or equal to equal to not equal to

Slide 4
Relational Operator Notes
Relational operators require an

operand on both sides of the operator Value of a relational expression will always be True or False Expressions are evaluated from left to right with no order of operations

Slide 5
Logical Operators
Used with Boolean expressions Not makes a False expression True and vice versa And will yield a True if and only if both expressions are True Or will yield a True if at least one of both expressions are True

Slide 6
Example
To test if n falls between 2 and 5: (2 < n ) And ( n < 5 ) To test if n falls outside the range from 2 to 5 _________________ A complete relational expression must be on either side of the logical operators And and Or.
6

And and Or are binary operators requiring two operands Not is a unary operator requiring only one operand

Slide 7
Syntax error
The following is NOT a valid way to test if n falls between 2 and 5: (2 < n < 5 )

Common Error in Boolean Expressions

A common error is to replace the condition Not ( 2 < 3 ) by the condition (2>3) The correct replacement is ( 2 >= 3 ) because >= is the opposite of <, just as <= is the opposite of >

Slide 9
Skills Check
Assume that x = 1 and y = 13 (x > 0) evaluates to _____ (x <> 1) evaluates to _____

((x > 5) Or (y <= 20)) evaluates to____ ((Not (x = 12)) And (y = 13))evaluates to___

Slide 10
Boolean Variable
A variable declared with a statement of the form Dim Var As Boolean is said to have Boolean data type. It can assume just the two values True and False. Example: Dim BoolVar As Boolean BoolVar = 2 < 6 TextBox1.Text = BoolVar displays ______in the text box.

Incrementing a variable
Dim Score as Integer=0 0 Before Score If radiobutton1.checked=true then Score=Score+1 Reads the current value of score 1 After Score End if Label1.Text = Score
displays the score in label1

Slide 12
Lab: A Guessing Game
Declare a variable to hold the random number generated by the computer Declare another variable to hold the users guess

Slide 13
Variable declaration
Public Class Form1 Dim Num As Integer Dim Guess As Integer Then double click the form to type the following statements inForm1_Load Randomize() Num = __________ assign a random number from 1 to 10

43 | P a g e

Slide 14
Code for the click button
Assign the text of textbox1 to the variable guess If guess equals to num then MsgBox ( Congratulations) Else MsgBox(Wrong! The number is & num End if

Slide 15
An improved version
To keep track of how many tries the user has had, a new variable named tries has to be introduced. Each time, when the Click button is clicked , increment the value of tries

Slide 16
Coding

Add a variable declaration under Public Class Form1 Dim Tries As ________=____ Modify the code of the button1_click
Increment tries If tries <=3 then If num=guess then display congratulations Else display wrong! Try again End if Else display You lose, the number is& num End if

Slide 17
A more-complicated version

Write a more complicated guessing game. Now the program is to write "cold" when the guess is 3 or more away from the correct answer, "warm" when the guess is 2 away, and "hot" when the guess is 1 away.

Ch. 6 Worksheet (If statements)

Part A: Assume that the control expressions listed below fit into the If statement in the following code segment: intNum = 5 intOther = 10 dblNum = -3 For each of the following exercises, indicate whether the control expression is True or False. Write out the word True or False. If a syntax error occurs, write "Error". ___________ 1. intNum > 5 ___________ 2. intNum >=5 And intOther < 11 ___________ 3. dblNum <> -1 Or intOther < 0 ___________ 4. Not (intNum > 3) Or intNum <= 5 ___________ 5. Not (intOther >= intNum) ___________ 6. 0 dblNum > 0 ___________ 7. 4 / 2 = intOther / intNum ___________ 8. intOther Mod 2 = 0 ___________ 9. intOther + 2 * intNum <> 30 Or Not (dblNum > 0) ___________ 10. intOther > 0 And intNum > 0 Or dblNum > 0 ___________ 11. dblNum > 0 Or intNum >= 0 And 1 * intOther = -10 ___________ 12. intNum = 5 ___________ 13. intNum > 0 Or dblNum <= 0 And intOther = 13 ___________ 14. Not (Not (Not (Not (intNum > 0))))

46 | P a g e

Part B 1. Write an If statement that displays "yes" in the label named Output if intSum is greater than 5.

2. Change the If statement that you used in your answer to #1 into an If Else statement so that it also displays "no" in the label if intSum is not greater than 5.

3. Write an If ElseIf statement that: -displays the message "greater than 5" in Output if intSum is greater than 5, -displays the message "equal to 5" in Output if intSum is equal to 5, -and displays the message "less than 5" in Output in all other cases.

4. Write a plain If statement that displays "yes" in Output if intSum is greater than or equal to 1 and intSum is less than or equal to 100.

47 | P a g e

5. Write an If statement that displays "Please try again" in Output if intUserInput is not greater than or equal to 1 or intUserInput is not less than or equal to 100.

6. Describe the logical error that you see in the If ElseIf statement below: If (dblGrade >= 60) Then lblGrade.Text = "D" ElseIf (dblGrade >= 70) Then lblGrade.Text = "C" ElseIf (dblGrade >= 80) Then lblGrade.Text = "B" ElseIf (dblGrade >= 90) Then lblGrade.Text = "A" Else lblGrade.Text = "Logical error occurred." End If THE END!
