Having an issue with VBScript for a class, help appreciated!
Hi everyone, I am currently enrolled in an Intro to Scripting class, and am admittedly very much a novice to this. I am currently having an issue with VBScript resulting in an error when I try to run my code, and was hoping someone here could look at the code I am attempting to run and tell me where, if anywhere, there is an error. The script below is typed out verbatim as instructed in the class.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Sorry, apparently using quotes messes with the formatting of the code.

...or I'm just not able to post it here with indentations and the like included. Sorry for triple posting :(
Re: Having an issue with VBScript for a class, help appreciated!
Your code is a combination of VBScript and pseudocode, so it's not surprising that it doesn't work.

The error says that the problem is on line 42, which is:
Code:
Display Prompt "Please Enter the Room Number (100-105) ...... "
This isn't a valid VBScript statement - use the InputBox function to get user input. Go through the rest of your code making similar corrections (searching for VBScript and the pseudocode words should find the VBScript equivalent). Also put Option Explicit at the top of your code, which forces you to define (Dim) all the variables and help you to fix syntax errors with the code.
When posting code, please put it within [ CODE ] [ /CODE ] tags (without the spaces) to preserve the indentation.
