Multidimensional Array And The Variables To Get The Program To Work ?
May 5, 2011
I get what I'm supposed to do, and this is my 9th project in this class so I'm not new to the coding and how it works, but for some reason I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the multidimensional array and the variables to get the program to work. Here is the first part of the instructions I was given for the project:
Write a program that will determine the cost of a Yacht rental based upon yacht type, the size of the yacht and the number of hours the yacht is rented. There are three categories of yachts: Ranger, Catalina, and Excalibur; and three yachts sizes: 20 feet, 30 feet, and 40 feet. The rental cost is the yacht price multiplied by the number of hours rented. Create an array to hold the rental prices.
Use a data structure that contains the following fields: yacht type, yacht size, price per hour and cost of the rental. Limit the number of transactions to 20. Each time the Calculate Price button is pressed, look up the rental price from the price array and display it on the form along with the rental cost. Add the appropriate information to the data structure to create a transaction history.
Here's my code, the top with the variables:
vb.net
Public Class YachtRentalMainForm
'Variables
[CODE]...................
And here's my calculate button code where I'm having the most trouble:
vb.net
Private Sub CalculateButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CalculateButton.Click
[CODE]......................
I'm not getting errors anymore thankfully, but when I run the program... I choose my yacht type and size and input hours, it doesn't matter how many hours I put in - the price doesn't change. I know I'm missing something, maybe I've just been staring at it too long and need a fresh set of eyes to give it a look over and tell me what I'm missing? It also isn't calculating properly. 40 foot excalibur is supposed to charge $180 per hour and instead it's charging $125 flat rate.
I'm trying to put together a quick program for our database, I haven't touched VB since vb6, and we have 2008 .NET now. my question.
Ideally I'd like to make an array which can hold multiple values...such as
Job[job#].joblocation Job[job#].jobsupervisor
So there would be a Job array, and then different values contained within that. I can't seem to make an object or whatever which allows me to hold different variables inside it.
I'm currently designing a mock-up of a customer booking system for a cinema using Framework 4.0. All data at present will be stored in an array and as it's a mock-up, it will remain their (customer name, ticket price etc...) as no requirement to permanently store the data at this time.[code]...
I want to create an array of constant variables for my program. But from everything I read about arrays they are handled by a number. I want to be able to pass back a variable that will hold the name of the constant as well as the value. How would you go about do that.I want to when I type the variable to have the constant name show up as I am typing.
I have a multidimensional array which will hold 3 bits of value and value will be added through a loop by reading from db. When it come this line of code:
Hi can someone show me an example of a multidimensional associative array in vb.net. Need array to hold peoples name, there age and a few other settings. Want to be able to use a Dictionary to use People.Add.
I'm writing a game in visual basic 2008 and things are going fairly well with it for the most part.. well until today.. I can declare a 1 dimensional array of a class just fine but cannot for the life of me get the syntax right for a multidimensional array. I usually don't have many issues in writing in VB but this is the first large scale program I have ever written in VB2008 and the 1st large scale uses of classes in VB as well
Here is my code to better illustrate my problem here is the class..minus most of the properties Public Class Objectives private zone as Integer private TZone as integer Public Property TargetZone As Integer Get Return TZone End Get Set(ByVal value As Integer)
I'm very new to VB.NET and I suppose this is a little big for a first project.I've done the same thing in other languages so I figured it wouldn't give me much trouble.I'm working on a map editor program for a 2D platformer game.The map will be an array of a structure which contains the width, height, and tile elements of each layer. the tile elements are stored in a 2D array within the structure.[code]That didn't give an exception but I'm not sure that it actually redimmed considering the second assignment command still crashed.
I am writting a vb.net program that I want to read in data from Excel and then populate a multidim array with it.I have been able to import the Excel data into a DataGridView (haven't been able to go directly to an array). Now I am trying to loop through the DataGridView to populate the array.This is were I am having troubles.[code]
I have profitMarginArray(29,3) <29 is actually a variable, but figured I'd put in a number for the example> and what I need is to retreive elements 0 and 3 sorted on 3 in some way shape or form. The biggest problem is element 3 isn't unique so there could be 5 that have the same value (56.34 for instance) so a sorted list is out.
Is there at all a way to sort (numerically) a multidimensional array?
I have an array that is as follows `dim points(23,1) as String`
The first dimension of the array has the players names in, the second dimension of it has their cumulative points, so I want to sort the array by points and maintaing the correlation of players name to points
* I posted this in VB forum at first by accident instead of .Net* I am trying to create a console application that computes the row and column sum and prints the elements with the resulting sums for each row and column.
[Code]....
My column sum code is currently showing the row sums. I need the column sums to display in descending order. So i know it would require a sorted array, but i'm not sure how to go about doing that given i can't get the correct values to show up. So I would need it to display as "Column sums are 12, 20, 13, 24, 51. " and then the next line would be "Column indexes are 1, 3, 2, 4, 5."
I need to count number of repeating and position where they repeat of all number in multidimensional array like this:
1 2 1 1 1 2 2 3 1
And result need to be:
Number 1- two times on position 1, one time on position 2, two times on position 3 Number 2- one time on position 1, two times on position 2, one times on position 3 Number 3- 0 on position 1, one time on position 2, 0 on position 3
I can't seem to get the code structure I'm looking for when importing a csv file into an array. The CSV format in question is 69 columns, and unknown rows since it depends on the time length of the data capture. Over the past 3 days I have tried many methods and can output it all to a listbox, as shown below (column headers appear in order), however when I try to put it into an array it only reads the first column. Am I missing something in the declaration of the array, or do I need to use an arraylist? Every permutation doesn't seem to get the results I seek, or I just plain crash the program.
I have a 2 dimensional array and also a 2 column listview box. I am able to insert array (0,i) into column A, but i do not know how to insert Array(1,i) into column B.
3 columns with 5,4,4 rows respectively that each have 2 rows
that have a varying number of rows, for example 6,9,5,6,4 I have the first part setup but I don't know how to get to another level of the jagged array.
Dim potentialStructure()() As Short = {New Short() {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}, New Short() {0, 1, 2, 3}, New Short() {0, 1, 2, 3}}
And how would I access an element at say, the lowest level?
I have a multidimensional array (not jagged array) that saves data from rows and columns of an excel spreadsheet. After it completes recording the data from Excel, I need to pass the array to another function.I understand how to pass a jagged array, but not a true multidimensional array.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I've done some searching on this site, and others, but most of the info only includes single dimension arrays or jagged arrays.
I am trying to use a simple quicksort routine for a multidimensional array but cannot figure out the syntax. I am stumped because it works fine in VB6 but no luck in .Net
Array Declaration: Dim sArrIn(25000, 3) As String 'sort key (pkg, kitting, zip), kitting, data Function Call:
I am trying to create a console application that computes the row and column sum and prints the elements with the resulting sums for each row and column.[code]My column sum code is currently showing the row sums.and the rowsum code is showing a continuous sum, rather than a sum for just that row.
First time I've had occasion to do this, but how would you represent the data in a SQL database table in a multidimensional array? I've heard tell of multidimensional arraylists but have no idea how to use them.
Here's what I have -
The table is 15 columns across and a varied amount of rows depending on the query.
rawData is an arraylist. finalData is an array. Dim myReader As SqlDataReader = sqlcom.ExecuteReader While myReader.Read()
[Code].....
Obviously, this gives me a long list of all the data from the query. I want to break it in rows.
I am trying to initialize a multidimensional array. Here is my syntax; this does not create errors but it does not store all values either. Although it correctly prints out all records in this snippet,
dFirstWeek = CDate(FirstWeek) dFirstWeek = DateAdd(DateInterval.WeekOfYear, -1, dFirstWeek) Dim dFirstDay As Date Dim arrWeekYear(5000, 1) As Date Dim i As Integer = 0 Dim j As Integer = 0 [Code] .....
But this time, only one "j" record appears per "i" record. Why is this? And then after these few records, many dates resembling null dates appear: "1/1/0001". So why do all records appear in upper section, but not from lower? Did I insert values wrongly into this array? And it does not have to have fixed number of rows, just a fixed number of columns.
Is there any way to create a multidinensional array that contains arrays of different lengths (similar to nesting arrays of different lengths in python).
Because if I were to declare a variable Dim accounts(2,2) As Integer all 1D arrays at each dimension have the same length. Is there any way to create an array so that this is not the case?
e.g The above code would create an array like this: [[0,0],[0,0]] but would it be possible to create this: [[0,0],[0,0,0]]
I need to store elements in a multidimensional array. Specifically, I need to save "tiles" to a grid (e.g.Grass at x:2 y:5, Dirt at x:3 y:5, etc.). Using a multidimensional feels very hacked up and is very glitchy (having to resize my arrays and having to create new ones were they are non-existant). Is there some kind of element made for this? Something I can say obj.getPos(2,5) and get my Grass Element and use obj.setPos(DirtObj, 3, 5) to set it to my Dirt Element?
I'm just wondering if there is something easier to use than multidimensional arrays in vb.net, that is all.
