I need help with visual basic questions (computers) (1 Viewer)

[Mia-Leigh]

I need help to answer these questions. Its study for my trial and in revision it said to answer it.

1. Outline the basic steps involved in Solving a Problem.
2. Outline what makes up an algorithm. Compare and contrast syntax, run time and logic errors.
3. Outline the applications of Visual Basic.
4. Describe the role of the interface, the form and the controls.
5. Discuss the purpose of the code.
6. Give some examples of properties that can be set.
7. Devise a program that provides the user with a question and three options from which to select. The program must record the choice and inform the user if their choice was correct. The program should be able to be closed.

If you could help answering any of those questions that would be so helpful.
Thank you.

I assume it's for IT, not the Computer Awareness test that a 5 year old could pass.

no offence sikhman but your code is ugly

if you want to program in vb make it look better, always name your object, and you would not want to end the program after every event

and if you are using stand alone vb6 then you should use a control array rarther than 4 seperate buttons.

also the questions specifies that you need to record the questions which were right and which were wrong, so u would also have to have an array holding questions, correct awners and the awnser the user selected, and this would need the be saved along the way.

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub options_Click(Index As Integer)
 
Const Correct_Awnser = 1 ' meaning that the 2nd button is the correct awnser(they count from 0)
 
If Index = Correct_Awnser Then
    MsgBox "Correct Awnser"
Else
    MsgBox "Incorrect"
    Unload Me ' unloads the form
End If
 
End Sub
 
Private Sub ExitBtn_Click()
     Unload Me
End Sub

ohh and about needing stand along visual basic...

thats not true...open excel and hold alt and press f11

vb does all the scripting, macro's and formulas behind excel,word,access (all of office really)

and you do not learn any programming for ipt, however you do for sdd. it will be what ever your school choses.

c is a very very picky language, and will mostly likley put u off programming if its wat u try and learn first, i suggest u learn vb, python, java even maybe and then try and move onto the lower level stuff c offers

good luck, i chose ipt and software, and there my fav subs...

if u need anymore vb help email me n_d_89@hotmail.com
