im really a newbie in Visual Basic and i am asked to produce calculations of grades a user may input..

here are the formulas..
Qave=((Q1+Q2)/2*0.2
Att=Attendance * 0.05
Exam=Exam * 0.75
Lecgrade=Qave+Att+Exam
MPave=((MP1+MP2)/2*0.5
LabExam=Lab*5
LabGrade=(MPave+LabExam)
FinalGrade=((LecGrade*0.5)+(LabGrade*0.5))

honestly, i find it really difficult bec im not so much familiar of the commands in VB such as Dim etc.. so i hope u could help me..     tnx in advance

What is it that you're needing then?

If you're wondering about the types for the variables... if you want it automatically rounded (i.e. don't care about the decimal) they can be integer, otheriwse single

hello,

i think i can relate to your question for some reasons. for grades you need to do declare all you variables as single since you will of course be considering the fractional part of the grades/scores.

to declare it u may do this:

[vbcode]
dim Qave as Single

'assuming that you have also declared q1 & q2
Qave = ((Q1 + Q2))/2 * .2

'you can do the rest

hope this helps..
