Nested For Loop to populate matrix

[Killer42]

... Form and Design are nowhere to be found ... I know this is simple for some but man this program is frustrating lol

From what I've heard, while there are undoubtedly improvements in the later versions, VB6 is much quicker and simpler to work with. It's a shame M$ had to make such a radical change of direction. :(

The crazy thing is that schools all over the place are still teaching VB6, which is now well over ten years old and at least 3 or 4 versions behind the times.

The original question asked for nested loops. Post #4 showed you're getting the idea. One technique which would work is to have the outer loop (let's say X) step by 5 at a time, and have the inner Y loop go from X to X + 4.

It's important that you learn to understand and be comfortable with loops, including nested loops. They're a very important and heavily-used feature of the language.

jamesd0142, I'd like to make two points. First, using an array seems somewhat over the top for such a simple task. And second, please remember that we don't hand out answers to homework questions (though helping to understand the problem is fine). Oh, and a third point I just thought of. What purpose does your array serve? How is using hold(i) any different to using i?

Oh, and werks... I'm watching you too... ;)

Yeah I am using the express edition, it does make sub directories for them but it just says Your project currently has no data sources associated with it.

Correct. i'm not looking for any interaction, just for the window to show the table.

Now i've run in to my next problem, after working on it last night i go to pull it up and while the project exsists, the Form and Design are nowhere to be found and I know I saved them both each time before trying to run it.

To be honest with you, i've never used vb2005 other than the express edition, but i think the Form should be saved in the same dir as the project, may be it creates a subdir called src or source... but it should be somewhere around there. Its extension is .frm

Now if I don't use a text box then I would just need to put it in a msgbox instead fo rthe window to pop up correct?

I'm using VB2005

yeap, that's right, but remember you cannot select the text in a msgbox, nor copy it.

im using vb 2005, but i find its the same as vb.net right?

not always, and not for every version, most of the changes in .net and in express editions is that the mid, left and right functions are being replaced by the .substring property, also the Len function is replaced with the .lenght property.

But, the main idea is well shown in the code, so i think the syntax problems shouldn't be so.

No idea im still in VB 6..

you need:

textbox - textbox1
button - button1

[code=vbnet]
Public Class Form1
Dim i As Integer
Dim a As Integer = 0
Dim hold(49) As Integer

Private Sub Button1_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles Button1.Click
Dim a As Integer = 0
For i = 0 To 49
hold(i) = i
Next
For i = 0 To 49
a += 1
TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text & hold(i) & " "
If a = 5 Then
TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text & vbCrLf
a = 0
End If
Next
TextBox1.Text = Mid(TextBox1.Te xt, 1, Len(TextBox1.Te xt) - 2)
End Sub
End Class
[/code]

Can you kindly post your code for reference of our experts please.

[slvr02scooby]

Sorry if my wording was misleading, i'm by no means looking for someone to tell me the answer, I've been attempting and had a much better understanding when I had my example but i don't anymore!

What I have so far is stating

Dim"name" as integer

I know I need to create a For statement, so I need to use 2 variables such as "x" and "y", is it as simple as x= 0 to 49 and y= something like if x doesn't equal...then +1?

[werks]

I can only come up with this.. Just modify it..

[CODE=vb 6]
Private Sub cmdGenerate_Cli ck()
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
j = 0
For i = 0 To 49
j = j + 1
If j = 5 Then
j = 1
Print vbCrLf
Print i
Else
Print i
End If
Next
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Form1.WindowSta te = 2
End Sub

[/CODE]
