Its suppose to have a trivia for each decade.Help!!( its a long program)
only one decade is working for every decade. The errors are logical so i don't know where to start correcting them:
Code:
'this was suppose to be project 4 for final project but a1 prints for each decade, why?
Module Module1
Public Delegate Sub age()

'at first I had this on top of sub main() and it wouldn't work

Dim six As New age(AddressOf a6)
Dim seven As New age(AddressOf a7)

Hard to read your code because you did not use code tags and have no formatting
Code is in VB.Net not VB6
The parts in red are useless and should be removed
Code:
If p > m Then
If o > l Then
z = z - 1
Else
z = z
End If
Else
z = z
End If
Again hard to read the code but I would guess that you are getting a one when the dates fall in what you are expecting to be 0

I don't know much about VB.Net but I'm sure that a statement of this kind
Code:
ElseIf 1900 < n < 1910 Then
is not doing what you think. You have to be explicit
Code:
ElseIf n > 1900 And n < 1910 Then

Hello keekeee14,
Welcome to the forums! 
When you are posting code into the forum, can you please remember to surround it in [code][/code] or [highlight][/highlight] tags? It makes it a lot easier to read. I have done this for you in your above post.
