Write a program to complete the stated task:
You are offered two salary options for ten days of work. Option 1: $100 per day. Option 2: $1 the first day, $2 the second day, $4 the third day, and so on, with the amount doubling each day. Write a program to determine which option pays better.

Please help with the above problem.

What have you got so far? We are not just going to do your homework for you

you'd use a for...loop to calculate option 2
option 1 is just $100 * 10

here's a clue - option 2 pays better

I love it when people post their homework and don't even bother to try and hide the fact that they're just copying and pasting the question.

And then when they get the answer, they edit out all of their posts and ask others to do the same.

Ow yeah I forgot about them doing that, yeah that's annoying and totally defeats the purpose of a public forum.

I was the victim of one of those
Hint 2: The second option can be calculated by adding together the powers of 2 from 0 to 9... and can be calculated in one line using LINQ.

The second option can be calculated in one line using LINQ.

go on then... i've got to see that

I can't say it here because it would give it away, but you use an array containing the numbers from 1 to 9 and a Select 2^x statement, then an Aggregate(Function(x As Integer, y As Integer) x + y).

There's a handy feature called PM'ing
