Hi Marv: It looks like the syntax is incorrect. Try: Private Function FindAverage(ByVal GameOneInteger As Integer, _ByVal GameTwoInteger As Integer, ByVal GameThreeInteger as Integer) as Decimal You might be able not to have to define each passed item's data type, I always do. But you did not have spaces after the ByVal Keyword and for sure Vb would give you that type of error.

that is the first line where the problem is:

HI. okay, sorry for that.when i try to compile vb.net , i get a declaration error, and it starts justinside the public class, and the first set of function calls. say for example: Private Function FindAverage(ByVal GameOneInteger, _ ByValGameTwoInteger, ByValGameThreeInteger as Integer) as Decimal that is the first line where the problem is: any ideas? cheers Marvin.----- Original Message ----- From: "Ricks Place" <OFBGMail@xxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2008 10:42 PM Subject: Re: VB.DOT NET Maths Question Marv:I have no clue to what they are. I do not have, nor want, the book nor the project description, nor your code and would not look at a bunch of functioncalls without having you craft a specific question. You say they are not working. First, exactly what do you mean by not working? Are you getting a syntax error, are the outputs incorrect is anything at all happening? I have no way to answer this question with theinformation you put in this e-mail. I don't even know what to ask you to tryand help. You have to craft your questions to a narrow topic, provide therelevant code, just the relevant code, and then I can look at it and eithergive you an answer or ask you for more information about the problem.

You are not asking anything that makes sense. I only know this from working on the project. If someone else read this they would just ignore it. You should craft your questions carefully perhaps in a text editor and send it when you are sure your facts are correct. See below: now the project is to calculate the investment, the interest rate and number of years. Marv, the above is not correct. You do not want to calculate the investment, interest rate and number ofyears. That is what you said and it is nonsense. You want to calculate theFuture Value of the investment given a Investment Amount, Interest Rate and the Number of years. and the calculation is: future value = investment amount (interest rate + 1) ^years The above is good. so i thought the way to calculate that was: future value = investment * interest rate * years. is that right.The above is a valid question. Your formula is incorrect, you had it right before when we worked on the project, but your question is much better forothers to give you a response. They look at the original calculation and tell you to use parenthsis and that you did not raise the necessary value to the exponential number of years. But the question is better. You really need to drop the project description, tell them the inputs and outputs if necessary for the calculation as it is here and then show them the original calculation from the book as you did, and your code solution as you did.
