college maths program help...

i have to create and design a small maths program which enables the user to select...

A problem type (addition, subtraction multiplication)
A level (Easy Medium Hard)

Then give the user a series of questions (1 - 10)

And finally display the score the user got

Not quite sure where to start never really used VB before any help would be much appreciated

you said college math? give me an example of an equation question/

are you talking about 2+3
or integrals and deravitives?

Welcome to the Forums :wave:


What language are you using? VB6? VB.Net? VBA?

At a very basic level, you would want a group of option buttons that chosses the difficulty, a group of option buttons that chooses the type of question, then a loop through 10 inputboxes each of which displays a randomly selected question from a list, and some kind of variable to keep track of the correct answers. Yes?

So, see if you can follow the below:

Put 6 option buttons on the form. Use the Text or Caption property to change the names - you'll want Easy, Medium, Hard, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication. Use the Group property of them to put the difficulty options in a group called Diff, and the other 3 in a group called eqType.

In the command button, put something like:

VB Code:

correctcounter = 0
 
 For i = 1 to 10
 
  x = inputbox("Here is a question")
 
 if cint(x) > 5 then
  msgbox "Correct"
  correctcounter = correctcounter + 1
 else
  msgbox "Wrong"
 end if
 
 Next i
 
 msgbox "You got " & correctcounter & " right"

That gives you the very basics of setting up a loop, asking a specific question and telling the difference between a right answer and a wrong answer, and also tracking how many correct answers you have. You can expand it from there.

Have a stab and then people will be able to help with bits where you have gone wrong.

Also, since this isn't really a maths problem, ask a mod such as MartinLiss to move it to the appropriate forum where you will get a lot more replies.
