Some programming help

Hello, I'm re-reading my notes from my programming class last week and I need help coming up with a line. We're using Visual Basic in class and we were just messing around with some stuff.

The task i'm trying to do is figure out how to calculate the area of a room but I can't figure out what how to write that code. I know it's length * width

I have it set up to where you write the input into the length and width box, then you press the button to calculate the output into a separate text box. Any suggestions? thanks in advance

 

oh hehe I got it

Dim area As Double
Dim length As Double
Dim width As Double
length = CDbl(txtLength.Text)
width = CDbl(txtWidth.Text)
area = length * width
txtArea.Text = CStr(area)

A mod can delete the thread haha

 

OMG, this is easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

iris is right but I would change the last line to this:

txtArea.Text =math.round( CStr(area)*100) *100

it rounds to 2 decimal places.

 

mmm... i think that jonathan is wrong... cause if u just want to round it to 2 decimal... just

Try

TxtArea.Text= CStr(Round(area , 2));

that would be enough to do the trick

 

I made a mistake. It's suppose to be:

txtArea.Text =math.round( CStr(area)*100) /100

How come you need to convert it to String. Area is a double, not a word. (Just wondering)
TxtArea.Text= CStr(Round(area , 2))

 

very simple... it just that "txtArea.test" method can accept string only...

 

Well, the above is true if you compile with option explicit. If not, the textbox.text will convert the values to String.

 

lol lambo
