    The first problem is I have written a program that will allow users to enter any number of rainfall amounts. I need it to calculate and display the total rainfall amount and the average rainfall amount. I have to break it down into 2 seperate functions.

    This is what I have so far:

    Option Explicit On
    Option Strict On

    Public Class MainForm

    Private Function CalcAverage(ByRef raincounter As Integer, ByRef rainAccum As Integer, ByVal avgRain As Integer)
    ' Calculates average rainfall amount
    avgRain = (rainAccum + raincounter) / 2

    Return avgRain
    Call CalcAverage(rainAccum, raincounter)
    End Function


    Private Function CalcTotal(ByVal rainCounter As Decimal, ByVal rainAccum As Decimal) As Decimal
    ' calculates the total
    rainAccum = rainCounter + rainAccum



    Return rainAccum

    Call CalcTotal(rainCounter, rainAccum)

    End Function



    Private Sub xExitButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles xExitButton.Click
    Me.Close()
    End Sub


    Private Sub xMonthlyTextBox_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles xMonthlyTextBox.KeyPress
    ' accept numbers, the period, and the Backspace

    If (e.KeyChar < "0" OrElse e.KeyChar > "9") _
    AndAlso e.KeyChar <> "." AndAlso e.KeyChar <> ControlChars.Back Then
    e.Handled = True
    End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub xMonthlyTextBox_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles xMonthlyTextBox.TextChanged
    Me.xTotalLabel.Text = String.Empty
    Me.xAverageLabel.Text = String.Empty
    End Sub

    Private Sub MainForm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    End Sub

    Private Sub xCalcButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles xCalcButton.Click
    Dim rainAccum As Decimal
    Dim avgRain As Decimal

    Me.xTotalLabel.Text = rainAccum.ToString("n2")
    Me.xAverageLabel.Text = avgRain.ToString("n2")
    End Sub
    End Class






    The next one I have to write a program that will allow users to enter in a 5 digit number with the 5th digit being the check digit. What needs to happen is the user enters in the 5 digit code...every other number is multiplied by 2...then add the numbers together, take the last digit and add it to the end of the first number set to check if it is the correct number...then I need it to display if it is correct or incorrect.

    I know it sounds confusing..here is an example

    Original number: 1357
    multiply every other number by 2: 1 3 5 7
    *2 *2
    Results: 1 6 5 14

    Add the numbers together: 1+6+5+14 = 26

    new number: 13576
    six would be my check digit.




    Here is what I have so far:


    Option Explicit On
    Option Strict On

    Public Class MainForm

    Private Sub xExitButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles xExitButton.Click
    Me.Close()
    End Sub

    Private Sub xNumberTextBox_Enter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles xNumberTextBox.Enter
    Me.xNumberTextBox.SelectAll()
    End Sub

    Private Sub xNumberTextBox_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles xNumberTextBox.KeyPress
    If (e.KeyChar < "0" OrElse e.KeyChar > "9") _
    AndAlso e.KeyChar <> ControlChars.Back Then
    e.Handled = True
    End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub xNumberTextBox_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles xNumberTextBox.TextChanged
    Me.xMessageLabel.Text = String.Empty
    End Sub

    End Class

    i only read the top part, but to clarify

    you are trying to make a prog that will calculate the total and average rainfall amounts right?

    in this function:

    Private Function CalcAverage(ByRef raincounter As Integer, ByRef rainAccum As Integer, ByVal avgRain As Integer)
    ' Calculates average rainfall amount
    avgRain = (rainAccum + raincounter) / 2

    Return avgRain
    Call CalcAverage(rainAccum, raincounter)
    End Function

    its referring to rain counter (i'm assuming thats the total number of entries added, and rainaccum = (rain accumulated?)= ?

    I don't know about you but an easier way to do it would be to use an array man.

    It would make everything so much easier for you. I'm not going to do your homework for you man but its mad easy just learn it.

    Heres some pseudo code to point you into the right direction

    declare an array (for the amount of rain)
    in the procedure for the button, make it store the contents of the input box into a new element of this array

    for example, say you have ran this prog, it will store

    rain(0) = 5
    rain(1) = 10
    rain(2) = 7

    ok got it? then the index(which is the number in the parenthesis of the variable) + 1 = the total number of entries you added right?

    so add up all of the elements of the array, and divide by (index + 1) of the variable.

    theres the average.

    to calculate the rainfall total, just simply add up all of the elements of the array

    I cant do an array...not allowed.... have to do two seperate functions to calculate the total and average rainfall. I am completely lost. This is an online class and the teacher never answers any emails. Very frustrating. I got it all untill I got to this last part..now it is like I'm looking at a Chineese dictionary.
    There's no trim like a 50 trim....oh wait!

    code seems like vb.net but still very similar
    or your teacher is reallllly picky haha


    hrm no arrays? haha ok still very doable
    well first thing is that you mixed up your variable passing in the function (byref and byvals) when you pass a variable to a procedure with byref, you can fuck with the value and what not, but if you send it byval, then once you're out of the procedure then shit restores back to normal.


    i'm assuming rainaccum is the value inputed
    why not make a variable called avg1
    also totalrain

    try something along these lines:

    Option Explicit On
    Option Strict On

    first thing first the variables: declare avg1, rainaccum, and totalrain and initialize 'em to 0.


    Public Class MainForm

    Private Function CalcAverage(ByVal rainaccum As Integer, ByRef avg1 As Integer)
    ' Calculates average rainfall amount
    avg1 = (rainAccum + avg1) / 2 ((just get add the value of the entered info the the existing average, and then divide out, much like we do with grades haha)
    Return avg1
    Call CalcAverage(rainAccum, avg1) [why not call the function from the click event ... it doesnt specify what type of function was needed]
    End Function
    ok so now whenever you call calcaverage with those parameters, it'll take the current average, add the new value to it, then divide by two, giving you the current average

    Private Function CalcTotal(ByRef TotalRain As Decimal, ByVal rainAccum As Decimal)
    ' calculates the total
    totalrain = totalrain + rainAccum

    Return totalrain

    Call CalcTotal(totalrain, rainAccum)[same as above]

    End Function



    if u still aren't following:

    make the procedure for the button pass the .text property of the textbox to the variable rainaccum

    then in that sub, call calcaverage and pass rainaccum and avg1 to it
    it'll calculate

    then call calc total with totalrain and rain accum passed to it




    after all thats done, in the sub for the click event on the button,
    make it output the data however you do it
    like label1.caption = aksldajsdk or whatever

    and make it do what you want


    but yeah Its late so i'm sure i overlooked something but yeah as for the second one it looks long i dont even feel like reading it
