Hi ! ^^

:wave: Hi ! anyone knows about folding process .... because i can't do this process ..... i have one textbox where i type the key values ... Ex: 1234567890 <--- this is the key values ........ the next textbox where i type the folding process... Ex: 1st + 2nd + 3rd4th + 5th + 6th + 7th8th9th + 10th <---this is the folding process ..... the answer is ... "837" ...... there's to many possible proces that can be used ..... like: "1st2nd3rd4th + 5th + 6th + 7th8th9th + 10th" & "1st + 2nd + 3rd4th + 5th + 6th + 7th + 8th + 9th + 10th" & "1st2nd3rd4th5th6th + 7th8th9th10th" and so on and so fort .... what is the best code for this ....... Thank You !

The answer for Ex: 1st + 2nd + 3rd4th + 5th + 6th + 7th8th9th + 10th <---this is the folding process ..... the answer is ... "837" or 847?

You can use Replace and Split; not the fastest and most elegant way to do it, but will work.

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim strKeys As String, strFolding As String, strNumbers() As String
    Dim lngAnswer As Long, lngA As Long
    ' store key values
    strKeys = txtKeyValues.Text
    ' there must be ten values
    If Len(strKeys) <> 10 Then MsgBox "Incorrect length for key values.": Exit Sub
    ' get the folding process
    strFolding = txtFoldingProcess.Text
    ' remove spaces
    strFolding = Replace(strFolding, " ", vbNullString)
    ' select each key value, replace the text with the key value
    strFolding = Replace(strFolding, "1st", Left$(strKeys, 1))
    strFolding = Replace(strFolding, "2nd", Mid$(strKeys, 2, 1))
    strFolding = Replace(strFolding, "3rd", Mid$(strKeys, 3, 1))
    strFolding = Replace(strFolding, "4th", Mid$(strKeys, 4, 1))
    strFolding = Replace(strFolding, "5th", Mid$(strKeys, 5, 1))
    strFolding = Replace(strFolding, "6th", Mid$(strKeys, 6, 1))
    strFolding = Replace(strFolding, "7th", Mid$(strKeys, 7, 1))
    strFolding = Replace(strFolding, "8th", Mid$(strKeys, 8, 1))
    strFolding = Replace(strFolding, "9th", Mid$(strKeys, 9, 1))
    strFolding = Replace(strFolding, "10th", Right$(strKeys, 1))
    ' now split by summing
    strNumbers = Split(strFolding, "+")
    ' add up the values together
    For lngA = 0 To UBound(strNumbers)
        ' add up the values together into the final answer
        lngAnswer = lngAnswer + CLng(Val(strNumbers(lngA)))
    Next lngA
    ' show the answer
    MsgBox "The answer is " & CStr(lngAnswer)
End Sub

Have fun figuring out how to expand it to work with multiplication, division and so forth :) You don't probably want to use Split, but instead work with Mid$ and check character by character what you are getting.

1) His mathematics isn't the issue, he asked a question not for a maths lesson

2) 1 + 2 + 34 + 5 + 6 + 789 + 0 = 837 (789 + 5 + 6 = 800...1 + 2 + 34 = 37)

Getting back to the question asked, I would probably make a program that tried every possibility...this is a bit of a long-winded way of doing it but there are SO many possible ways to do it you could probably do it with loops and such...if variable(1) = 1 then use +, if variable(1) = 2 then use -, if variable(1) = 3 then use x... if variable(1) = 10 then add on to next number...y'see? You'd have one variable for each number in the sequence, and you would just add 1 to the highest variable number and when that goes past the highest possible return it to 1 and add 1 to the variable below that...then when that variable below goes past the highest possible do the same there...until all possibilities have been tried :-)

(edit) Additionally, you might have forgotten about nested calculations...things like 1 + (2x3) + (4 x 56) + 789...adding in support for nested calculations WILL be a pain...if you don't need nested, I could probably write you a prog to handle calculating it :-)

(edit 2) Just noticed that Merri wrote pretty much what you need...You already know the "calculation" you require and want to know the answer, I thought you knew the answer and wanted the calculation. Here in the UK we have a TV show called Countdown which has a numbers game where you get a set of numbers and the answer and have to give the calculation to get that number :-)

My query wasnt to question his Mathematics. I only wanted to know how it works. Probably I didnt understand the question correctly. Thanks for explaining!!!

Sorry "rrn" yah it's 847 ....

So the last number is considered to be 10 not 0?

Hi smux ... yah i dont need the nested if .... i just need that when the user inputed a number in my first textbox like "1234567890" and the the user should follow up inputed in my second textbox where the process must be done like " 1 +23 + 456 +789 + 0" and the answer must seen at my third textbox that would be "1269" .... and another problem that i have said there to many possible process that can be done like "123456 + 7890" or "12+ 34 + 56 + 78 +90" and so on and so fort .... so the program should be flexible ......

i just want to ask .... what code is the best for this ....

i have 3txtBoxes and 1 commandbutton

1st txtBox the user must input 10 or less than 10 Ex: 1234567890
2nd txtBox the user must input a folding process Ex: 1+2+345+6789+0
3rd txtBox where the answer appers Ex: 7137

And another

if i input "12345"
and the process that i want is "123+45"
the answer must be "51"

And another thing
there's too many possible process that can be done that depends on how many digits that inputed Ex: 6 digits the process that i want is 1+2+3+4+5+6

so please help me

Don't quite understand what you want... however, if you want to get 1+2+3+4+5+6 from 123456 you can do it with a loop:

VB Code:

Dim result As String
    For i = 1 To Len(Text1.Text)
        If i = 0 Or i = Len(Text1.Text) Then
            result = result & Mid(Text1.Text, i, 1)
        Else
            result = result & Mid(Text1.Text, i, 1) & "+"
        End If
    Next i
        MsgBox result

HI GAVIO ... this all i want to say ...
The user input Ex: 1234567890

And the user also input whatever process he want Ex: 1 + 234 + 567 + 890
and the answer must be "1692"
how should i do this ?

[ P.S ]
there's too many possible process it depends on how many digits did the user inputed
Ex:
3digits = 1+2+3 or 12+3 or 1+23
4digits = 1+2+3+4 or 12+34 or 123+4 and so on...
5digits = 1+2+345 or 123+45 and so on
6digits = 123+456 or 12+34+56 and so on
up to 10 digits

VB Code:

Dim i As Integer
Dim arr() As String
Dim result As Double
    Text1.Text = Replace(Text1.Text, " ", "")
    arr() = Split(Text1.Text, "+")
        For i = 0 To UBound(arr)
            result = result + CDbl(arr(i))
        Next i
            MsgBox result

However, this only works for addition (+).

Thank you Gavio ... now i have an idea how to add the numbers that had been inputed ... all i have to do is to apply it in the number that inputed what i'd like to say is in the code that you given to me ... i try it Ex: i inputted "1234" and the process is "12+34" and the answer appears 46 ... but now if the user putted "6879" when i use the process 12+34 the answer the answer still appears 46 ....
