loop

[lindafay1123]

I am having trouble with a problem. I started a problem in basic add a button and text box and below is the code I use but when i hit the button it doesn't give me anything and it should give me 2.
Public Class Form1

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load

End Sub
Private Sub btnDisplay_Clic k(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArg s)
'Calculate the remainder in long division
txtOutput.Text = CStr(Remainder( 3, 17))
End Sub
Function Remainder(ByVal divisor As Double, _
ByVal dividend As Double) As Double
Dim sum As Double = 0
Do While (dividend - sum) >= divisor
sum += divisor
Loop
Return (dividend - sum)

End Function
End Class
What am I missing?

dear,


can you explain what the loop just must do?
because :
- "sum += divisor" is not correct in vb.
- return is for a GOSUB => the functionname is returning the value !

it must be "Remainder=.... .."

I hope i can help You furder once these problems are cleard.

Please have a look at the Mod Function and in the future please do not post .net questions in the visual basic classic section that covers version 4/5/6

.net covers 2002, 2003, 2005, 2008, and soon 2010 versions of vb, c#, asp...



Good Luck
