I'm currently in Logic, Design, and Programming at college and we have homework over Arithmetic Operations.

For example:
100 ^ 2 - (((43 \ 2) + 17) Mod 5 - 7.4) * 3 = 10,013.2

I need to solve it, we can use VB Express 9 to get the answer but we need to show the work. I've done fine up until the question. We have a test tomorrow and we are have 30/100 points just over math equations where we aren't allowed any use of the PC or calculator and I'm stuck on how to break this down.

Like this problem I managed fine.
443 \ 4 * 5 \ 1.25 * 4 \ 12 / 4
  • 443 \ 20 \ 1.25 * 4 \ 12 / 4
  • 443 \ 20 \ 5 \ 12 / 4
  • 443 \ 20 \ 5 \ 3
  • 22 \ 5 \ 3
  • 4 \ 3
  • 1

OR

( 55.7 - 3.7) Mod ( 75 \ 22 + 4 ) ^ 2 + 5
  • 52 Mod ( 3 + 4 ) ^ 2 + 5
  • 52 Mod 7 ^ 2 + 5
  • 52 Mod 49 + 5
  • 3 + 5
  • 8


My teacher said there is a way to show a debug window and it breaks down the process showing the way VB handles Arithmetic Operations. I can not for the life of my figure this out, I'd even like to write some code to do it for me but the last time I coded was in VB 6 and well, .net has changed everything.

Help would be GREATLY appreciated!
