[RESOLVED] coding median in vb6

hi
i have to show the mid range values on a screen

so have three text boxes with number in them
eg
value1 2
value1 5
value1 7
and want to display the mid range value in a new text box any ideas how to do this

i am not sure .what you want exactly .but you can try mid function .

Also i'm not sure what exactly you want,

for mid range use the following formula, Mid range = sum of values / number of values

Code:

---

TextBox4.Text = (TextBox1.Text + TextBox2.Text +TextBox3.Text) / 3

---

try the following .because if all the textboxes data is a numeric value .

Code:

---


TextBox4.Text = (val(TextBox1.Text) + val(TextBox2.Text) +val(TextBox3.Text)) / 3

or
TextBox4.Text = (val(TextBox1) + val(TextBox2) +val(TextBox3)) / 3

hi
i found some code to help me with this

Code:

---

Const MOODYS_TITLE As String = "Moody's"
Const SP_TITLE As String = "S&P"
Const FITCH_TITLE As String = "Fitch"

Dim sRatingAgency As String
Dim iMidLevelPostNotched As Integer

'Rating Agency

Private Sub Form_Load()


'Call Median



        'MsgBox MidLevelPostNotched(17, 0, 10)
      '    MsgBox MidLevelPostNotched(7, 2, 0)

               
               
              'median
                Call MidLevelPostNotched(16, 12, 10) '12

          '  MsgBox MidLevelPostNotched(16, 16, 10) ' 16
        'MsgBox MidLevelPostNotched(7, 7, 6)
        'MsgBox MidLevelPostNotched(10, 8, 9)


    sRatingAgency = ""
    iMidLevelPostNotched = 0
 '  Call MidLevelPostNotched(0, 0, 0)
  ' Call MidLevelPostNotched(10, 16, 0)

'  Call MidLevelPostNotched(16, 16, 10) ' 16
  '    Call MidLevelPostNotched(7, 7, 6)
 '    Call MidLevelPostNotched(10, 8, 9)
       
       
    MsgBox (CStr(iMidLevelPostNotched) + " : " + sRatingAgency)
   
End

End Sub

Code:

Public Sub MidLevelPostNotched(iMoodys As Integer, iSP As Integer, iFitch As Integer)

    Dim iHighest As Integer
    Dim iArr As Variant

    If iMoodys = 0 Or iSP = 0 Or iFitch = 0 Then
        'get highest value
        iHighest = iMoodys
        sRatingAgency = MOODYS_TITLE

        If iSP > iHighest Then
            iHighest = iSP
            sRatingAgency = SP_TITLE
        End If
        If iFitch > iHighest Then
            iHighest = iFitch
            sRatingAgency = FITCH_TITLE
        End If
      iMidLevelPostNotched = iHighest
    Else
        'get median value - Sort the array and get the mid value
        iArr = Array(0, iMoodys, iSP, iFitch)
        ' Sort the Array and display the values in order.
        BubbleSort iArr
        iMidLevelPostNotched = iArr(2)
       
        If iMidLevelPostNotched = iMoodys Then
            sRatingAgency = MOODYS_TITLE
        ElseIf iMidLevelPostNotched = iSP Then
            sRatingAgency = SP_TITLE
        ElseIf iMidLevelPostNotched = iFitch Then
            sRatingAgency = FITCH_TITLE
        End If
       
       
       
    End If


End Sub

Code:

---

  Function BubbleSort(TempArray As Variant)
          Dim Temp As Variant
          Dim i As Integer
          Dim NoExchanges As Integer

          ' Loop until no more "exchanges" are made.
          Do
              NoExchanges = True
              ' Loop through each element in the array.
              For i = 1 To UBound(TempArray) - 1

                  ' If the element is greater than the element
                  ' following it, exchange the two elements.
                  If TempArray(i) > TempArray(i + 1) Then
                      NoExchanges = False
                      Temp = TempArray(i)
                      TempArray(i) = TempArray(i + 1)
                      TempArray(i + 1) = Temp
                  End If
              Next i
          Loop While Not (NoExchanges)

      End Function

it works which is great.
my problem is i need to change it around a bi. instead of this line
Call MidLevelPostNotched(16, 12, 10) '12

i will be reading the number from a text file and looping through it till it finishes.
now i no i will need an arrary to do this so i can pass the numbers into the MidLevelPostNotched function. but i find it hard to figure out arrays and how do to this
any one any ideas
i no it will go something like this

Code:

---

Do While Not EOF(fn)
 Line Input #fn, sBuffer
      '    Input #fn, sBuffer

     

   

           

     
   

    Loop

---

i can just never get the what i need in the middle part with arrays

Code:

---


    Do While Not EOF(fn)
 Line Input #fn, sBuffer
      '    Input #fn, sBuffer



TempArray = Split(sBuffer, ",") ' this will split the data on each comma
' convert your text data into integers for the subroutine
MidLevelPostNotched (TempArray(0)), (TempArray(1)), (TempArray(2))
           

     
   

    Loop
