As a heads up, I am a complete and utter newbie to both visual basic, as well as coding in general. I have no idea which of my questions have glaringly obvious solutions or make me look like an idiot. Please remember that everybody starts from somewhere?

I have recently begun to learn VB, and as part of my college's project we have to build a rate calculator. It has to work like this.

The user enters a number of days, for example, 17. I am to have coded a daily, weekly and fortnightly rate beforehand, and the code should break down the number of days entered (17) into one fortnightly rate, then add on three extra days of the daily rate automatically. The end figure should then be displayed in a read only textbox, letting the user know the end fee charged.

After reading my VB book and skimming the internet, as well as talking to classmates... I honestly have no idea how to do this.

Could someone please give me a template or example of code that would let me do this? I realize this forum is probably not meant for newbies pestering you all for help instead of figuring things out on their own, but I genuinelly have tried and everything in my book just seems like jargon. I can't even tell which chapter I need to read to learn to do this...

I will stop rambling now. Anyway, any help will be appreciated. If not, sorry for bothering you guys.
