Loops

Hi im trying to create a VB program that uses a Do Until loop to allow you to enter the ages of a class of students and then display these things about them:
>The Number of students in the class
>The total age of the students
>The average age of the students

Here is what iv done, its not working!
Can anyone help please? Thanks v much in advance.

  6. Dim intAverage As Integer

  12.     intinput = InputBox("enter the students ages")
  13.     inttotal = intotal + intinput
  14.     intAverage = inttotal / intstudent
  15.     intstudent = instudent

A couple of questions...
  • What do you mean precisely by "not working"?
  • What is instudent?
Hm... and after further consideration, a suggestion...
  • Go to the very start of the module (before the Sub Main, in the declarations section) and add the line
    Option Explicit
I believe this will resolve a lot of your problems by pointing out mistyped variable names.

In programming you really have to watch the fine details, or they'll bite you.
