[RESOLVED] Written code

I'm taking a written test right now, so Im having to write out all the codes on paper. Not sure why it's so much easier for me to type it than write it!!??:rolleyes::o I'm still learning..so please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks in advance!!

So I was told to consider the following snippet and write out the answers to these questions..My answers are in RED

Code:

---

Dim intx as Integer = 0
Do
intx += 1
Loop until intx = 0

---

1. What is code an example of? How would you change this code to make the loop end after 10 iterations?

It's an example of Iterative Statement, a Do..Loop (until)

Code:

---

Dim intx as Integer = 0
Do
intx += 1
Loop until intx = 10

---

2.Write the code to populate and declare an array of five items.

3. Create a two-button message box named Decision Time. Your message box should tell the user "It is time to make a choice." Provide buttons for OK and/or Cancel.

Code:

---

MessageBox.Show ("It is time to make a choice", "Decision Time",
MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel)

---

I'm working on number 2 now.

If it's a test, then we probably shouldn't be helping you with any of it. Still, you have an error in #1, and I question whether or not a statement like "It is time to make a choice." is really a question. Of course, that's a problem with the test, not the answer.

So type it then. Write your code in VS and then simply copy it to the test sheet when it's done.

I imagine the written test has passed ... since he is posting here.. prob got marks and wants to know why:

1. Depends is overflow checking on or off? - if off then a very long loop that will eventually overflow, if not an loop that is quite large :p... change Loop until intx = 10
2. Dim arr = {1,2,3,4,5}
3. .. doing this from memory - since u were doing without looking so will I :p .. so may be wrong... If MsgBox("Hello",,vbMsgBox.OkCancel) = vbMsgBoxResult.OK Then ....

EDIT:

... yep was wrong:
If MsgBox("Hello", MsgBoxStyle.OkCancel) = MsgBoxResult.Ok Then
... haven't used a message box in years tho per-say ... as I wrote a wrapper class that can effectively extend it with custom buttons etc.
