Need more help with school code

[cab11150904]

I am looking for the best way to apply a set discount to the code that I am applying.  I will just copy the question so I can get some ideas on the best way to do it or the way you guys would use.  I am programming in VB.Net.

A switch statement? Using math? I don't understand what your specific question is.

input quatity

item price * discount price 

any other questions?

Yeah a few more.  Where would I enter the code and how exactly would you state that in code?  I think I grasp what you mean but I'm not sure.  I'm going to switch over and try it and I'll check back to see if you've added more.

 

Edit: Also how would I go about breaking it down to Package A, B, and C in one label like it shows on the page?

[Luc401]

I would create a variable called A,B,C which would all = their price right. Then id have an if statement after the user inputs their ammount to buy which looks up to a set of variables with the discount price. As in where to put it , not a clue its been awhile.

I am using VB.net.  My question is how do I get my program to display the results of three different equations and the grand total in the same label? Also how can I make the lines say Package A, Package B, and Package along with Grand total as static text that the results will display after? Example below.

Didn't you already ask this question and get an answer?

 

1. It's not a Label, it's a TextBox with the Multiline and ReadOnly properties set.

2. Concatenate strings

3. Environment.Newline will be useful

No I asked the question that got me to this point.  I have huge problems with math so the formulas confuse me sometimes.  As for the label and textbox thing, the book says that it is a Label control so I will be graded on that part.  I used  

 

lblResults.Text = "Package A: " & vbNewLine & "Package B:" & vbNewLine & "Package C" & vbNewLine & "" & vbNewLine & "Grand Total:"

 

to get the words there so now I just need to know how to add the totals to those specific lines so it will keep the static text but change the numbers to match the math. Also thanks for the help so far.

Put it all after you defined the variables and did all of the changes (besides for this one of course) but before you print it

you should be able to do something like this lblResults.Text = "Package A:" & intPackA & vbNewLine &.... and so forth. intPackA being your value for package A.

My mistake. Looked like a TextBox to me at first glance but you can have a multi-line Label with a border which looks similar and is where I got mixed up.

[cab11150904]

I tried something like that but it fudged somewhere. I'll try again.

I did this on my phone so it's probably not right but something like this should work (if I remember VB auto converts int to string, right?):

Dim ValueA As int;

Dim ValueB As int;

Dim ValueC As int;

 

Output.text= "Package A: " + (ValueA * TextBox1.text) + Environment.Newline + "Package B: " + (ValueB * TextBox2.text) + "Package C: " + (ValueA * TextBox3.text);

[cab11150904]

you should be able to do something like this lblResults.Text = "Package A:" & intPackA & vbNewLine &.... and so forth. intPackA being your value for package A.

I figured it out.  I forgot the & between my static text and my variable.

I used xboxonthego3's code and it worked but thanks for your help.

 You're welcome! Ha i'm in a programming class right now and was just browsing linustechtips. And saw your post. I never thought about using this forum as a resource. So thanks for showing me!

Hey no problem.  I just figured anything was better than Reddit.  The assignment is done and handed in and I expect a 100 since it all works as it should.

There are plenty of reasons why you may not get 100 even though the answer is right

• Messy code
• Poor documentation
• Bugs
• Missing requirements
• etc

But hopefully you will get it

No documentation needed, code works so that's what he'll care about and the program looks to spec and produces the right kind of numbers.  It's very basic level programming so the assignment should be 100%.
