create if...elseif statement Visual basic

August 24, 2013

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

I do know how to do them I just need to do them quickly and I take awhile when I write my code

Just copy and paste, then modify, the examples at my link above.

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.

Thanks for all the help guys! Every one of your helpful comments contributed to me getting an A on the assignment!

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)

Now there's a misrepresented grade if ever I saw one.

August 28, 2013

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.

Needs more GOTO's.

Very good try, but I expected this done DOS batch language.

Challenge accepted (again)!

Echo off
set intAge=%1%
if %intAge% LSS  6 (

if %intAge% LEQ 12 (

if %intAge% GTR 62 (

set decTicketPrice=7.5

:done
Echo Ticket price is %decTicketPrice%

1,224 · August 29, 2013

Alright, but now I want a for-loop to add to the TicketPrice in 0.5 increments. The for-loop must be called from all places that populate the final value.

Do it!

2,153 · August 29, 2013

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

32,293 · August 29, 2013

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 ;)

3,685 · August 29, 2013

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;

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

2,153 · August 29, 2013

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.

August 29, 2013

will not post the code. but instead give you a reference to in this case .net but still this series is a good reference to visual basic also.

32,293 · August 29, 2013

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.

Heh, where I went, the instructors weren't allowed to give you extra credit.

Mine weren't either, but gave 'privileges' to those who earned them.
