if it's set to nothing, multiplying 0 by what ever will just mean it's 0.

       HI.
no decAmountDue is set to nothing.
and the decRentals set to it says in the project $1.8, but was having a
lot
of trouble trying to calculate , so put it to 2, just to see, if it liked
that rounded up.
cheers Marvin.

ok, this is the line I don't get. the first two lines make sense:
       decAmountDue = decAmountDue * decRentals
does DecAmountDue have something initialized before you set it to that?
And
how are you setting your rentals? I would've thought rentals would've been 
movies*rate with the discount subtracted.

       Hi.
okay, here's the split up version of my calculations.
cheers and thanks for your help.
much appreciated.
Marvin.

decRentals = decRentals * intVideoOrder
       decDiscount = decRentals - intVideoOrder
       decAmountDue = decAmountDue * decRentals
       intCustomerCount = intCustomerCount + 1
       decTotals = decRentals - decDiscount

Marvin,
Again, lets stop with the feel sorry. I understand your on your own.
You've
told us this a few times. I will do what I can to help, as long as your
showing effort. I told you to split your calculation up, and you
apparently
did so, so we're off to the next step.
Please post the lines with your calculations again. Just the split up
version will do. I'll see what I can do with it.


Thanks,

       Hi.
okay, no hard feelings.
okay, i understand.
okay, maybe not getting it, but some examples are straight forward, then 
other, are not, and it is tearing my hair out.
not to do it for me, but for some one to point out what i am missing.
but must be something really simple, or i am not just picking it up.
and tried looking on the net, but could not seem to find any similar
examples.
okay, will ask other people.
see if they can help, or point out resources, where i can find how to
fix
my
problems.
really, just not picking it up, and really trying hard to learn, and on
my
own, so will try that.
thanks and have a great day.
cheers Marvin.

Marven,
Just reread my last message. I didn't want it to come across like it
did.
I was in the middle of typing when the phone rang. It was 6 here, and I
ran
to get it before it woke up my grandparents house.
The sintence finished, is that I delete messages from you on program-l
because they're duplicates.
Rick was not attacking you, and neither am I. If someone else would like 
to
step forward and help you, then feel free.

Thanks,

       Hi.
well said.
i do not attack other members on public mailling lists.
so Rick should not do the same or any other member.
maybe you should take it up with the moderators, and maybe a file list
rules
or etticate message, reminding members of this.
okay, so maybe i am struggling, and maybe i do not understand, but
trying,
some examples, are straight forward, but others, having problems trying 
to
understand, and trying to learn.
people, do not understand, i am on my own, doing this externally, as my nearest campus is over 1000 kph, away, in adelaide, australia and moved 
to
Tasmania with my parents.
so, you can see, do not really have the support.
did e-mail my lecturer, and he really cannot help, as he is teaching
multiple students, multiple subjects like vb, c#, c++, java, multimedia 
and
flash and asp.
and at multiple campuses in Adelaide, australia.
so, sorry about this, if do not seem to understand.
cheers Marvin.

Good morning,

Having tutored students in client-server programming with Java, I can
understand how it can sometimes become frustrating.  However, I do not
believe that a public mailing list is the place to make statements like 
the
ones below.
I believe that individuals who are making an attempt to learn should be 
applauded, even more so the greater their struggle.  I have a friend
who
tried 5 times to get his bus drivers lisence before he was finally
successful.  I thought it was silly at the time, but now he drives all
over
Canada and the US and enjoys what he is doing a great deal.

HTH,
Everett

Hi Marv:
So the guys know; I had to do the Project Analysis, set up or totally
rebuild the step by step pseudo code and rework nonsense calculations
as
well as redefine your use of variables on the past 4 projects. I
explained
everything to you, gave you examples and did this over and over but
you
could not pick up on the fundementals. Your educational level, 10 th
grade, is wholly inadiquit for the level of coursework you are
involved
in. You need at least a High School Education, 4 years of prep work in 
English, Math and Science before tackling a University level course
like
this.
I worked off-list with you several hours each day but your lack of
comprehension skills and math skills showed me you are not capable of
doing work at this level without someone else virtually doing it for
you.
So, if you can talk others into doing your work, good. That is a skill 
in
and of itself of sorts. However, it is not doing you any favors as
your
lack of basic skills will eventually drown you and you will either
have
to
start all over again or end up giving up completely.

Hi.
doing this book for a programming subject, and now need some help,
not
to
do
my home work for me, but to give me pointers how to fix the problems
and
the
calculations.
or maybe point me to some good online examples.
really struggling, and need some help.
and please be gentle with me, tried looking at the msdn, help, and
tried
searching on google and altavista for some simple examples, similar
to
this
case study, but could only find really complext examples.
so, if you could help me out, let me know either on or off list.
cheers Marvin.

ps: will post the project description and my code below.

Video Bonanza

Design and code a project to calculate the amount due
and provide a summary of rentals. All movies rent for
$1.80 and all customers receive a 10 percent dis-
count.
The form should contain input for the member
number and the number of movies rented. Inside a
group box, display the rental amount, the 10 percent
discount, and the amount due. Inside a second group
box, display the number of customers served and the
total rental income (after discount).
Include buttons for Calculate, Clear, and Exit.
The Clear button clears the information for the current
rental but does not clear the summary information. Do
not allow bad input data to cancel the program; in-
stead display a message to the user.
