Hi everyone!
I'm currently working on a project where I have no idea where to begin because I'm really bad at programming and thus, the reason why I'm posting here. To start off with, my project supervisor wants us to use the following programs:
1. Visual Web Developer
2. Visual Basic
3. SQL
He wants us to come up with a code that allows users to enter a equation but the variables can be randomized, meaning...
y = mx + c
The variables being 'x' and 'c'.
So after you type in y = mx + c (most likely must come up with interface), the variables are to randomize themselves every time a person starts the quiz.
*Must not be hard coded.
The users are people who do not care what goes on behind the scenes, meaning, they want nothing to do with the codings, and it must be user friendly. How will I be able to make the codings work like that based on the code language that I am allowed to work with.
Thanks for the help in advance!

One thing you can do is make a list of all the equations you think the use might use,prompt the user to click any one of them and then ask the user to enter values for respective variables.
Another method is you can get the equation in a string variable,calc the number of variables involved(exclud ing the numbers and operators all other characters are variables),form a general equation,compar e it with the list of equations you have to confirm to which type the entered equation belongs.
i do have something else to say..this site is not for training people who are bad at programming,rat her a site for developers across the world to share their views and ways of solving general problems.

First of all, you'll need something to evaluate mathematical expressions, check this article out.
once you can evaluate them, you can do something like this (using the EVAL function from the article), please note this is a simple example and it can clearly be improved (so can the articles' code): - 'this little example will search every letter form a to z, using its ascii code (from 97 to 122) and the REPLACE function.
-
'
-
dim str1 as string
-
dim i as integer
-
randomize
-
str1= inputbox("write the function here")
-
for i = 97 to 122
-
str1=replace(str1, chr(i),rnd*100)
-
next
-
msgbox str1 & " = " & eval(str1)
I think that'll give you a good idea, and can be quite general for any purpose
I tried it with a+b*c (it'll give you the other side, son dont write both sides of ecuation, write only one) and returned:
81.59072+74.970 83*78.8576 = 5993.610443808
^.^ nice!!
Anyway, im sure that with some time you can improve this quite a bunch.
HTH
Oh thanks for the help everyone :) Really appreciate it. Gotta do up the interface first and even tho' I don't really understand the codes, I'll do the best of my ability. Lol.

I merely asked a question that you could have chosen not to reply. The website says I could ask questions. It doesn't say you can't ask, if you're bad at programming. Thanks for your reply but you didn't understand the question in the first place.

Sorry too, I'm just running out of places to get help. :(
dont worry, i think we can work this out quite fine. ^.^
did you get to make it work?
I used another method to make it work but I haven't figured out how to integrate the randomization code into it yet. I just managed to do up the interface and make y=mx+c
at the moment I don't have anything to add but I would really recomend against posting your email address in a public forum as it is all too easy to get on a spammers list and it is a much better option to state that you can be pm'd
if you do wish to post an email address it is better to try and hide it from some of the spider programs by at least removing the @ sign

double A = floor((2447297.0 - 122.1)/365.25);
i get differing results. It varies between 6699 and 6700. The correct
answer is 6699.
The 6700 result really throws the entire group of calculations off.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks Mike

Hi.
I have a long loop in ASP that performs a rather lengthy calculation. I would love for my users to be able to stop that calculation, if they so choose, mid way through the process.
I attempted to use a parent window that allows the user to launch the calculation in a seperate window, so that they could still click "stop" to write a value to a database or set a session level variable that the calculation would check to see if it should...

Hi,
I would like to know whether a certain coding pattern exist to handle
the following problem.
I am using a const methode to get and value a from the class. In case
the value was not calculated yet, I want to start the calculation
(which is not a const methode) and return the value. But since the
calculation is not const, I can't call it within the getter. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas Kowalski

Hi all,
Let's say I have a simple math formula:
sum (x * y / 1000) / (sum z / 1000)
I have to do this across 50 items, each with an x, y and z value, when
the page first loads AND when a user modifies any of the x, y and z
values.
