...The History of Visual Basic dates back to 1991 when VB 1.0 was introduced. The core of Visual Basic was constructed on the older BASIC language, which was the prevalent programming language throughout the 1980s. It's a computer programming system established and owned by Microsoft. Visual Basic was originally produced to make it easier to write programs for the Windows computer operating system. The basis of Visual Basic is an earlier programming language called BASIC that was invented by Dartmouth College professors John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz. Visual Basic is often denoted by using just its initials; VB. Visual Basic is easily the most extensively used computer programming system in the history of software. Microsoft Visual Basic is the most common language and development environment for developers coding to the Windows operating system platform. From modest beginnings it has grown to be part of personal computing itself, and with the latest incarnation, Visual Basic .NET in Beta it looks as if it may be in use for another decade or longer. Visual Basic 1.0 for Windows was released in May 1991 at a trade show in Atlanta, Georgia. Visual Basic 2.0 was released in November 1992. The programming environment was easier to use, and its speed was improved. Visual Basic 3.0 was released in 1993 and came in Standard and Professional versions. Visual Basic 4.0 was released in August 1995. It was the first version that could produce 32-bit as well as 16-bit Windows programs. It...

...| Purpose In this project, a database management system will be implemented to make the self-ordering easier. The users for this program will be used for customers in various restaurants. It will take a customer’s order, total it, and give them an amount. The system will instruct the customer to enter the correct amount. If the amount is not enough, the system will instruct them to enter more money. If it is too less, however, the system will them issue out change. Use of Visual Basics Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) will be used because it is a programming language built right into many Microsoft programs. This language is built on the Basic programming language made popular by PCs over the past 25 years. VBA shares similarities with other Windows implementations of the Basic language, such as Visual Basic. If you are familiar with programming in a different language (including using macros), you can quickly get up to speed with VBA. There are a few terms you should know before you start programming in VBA: * Procedure. A section of programming code, designed to accomplish a specific task, which your program statements can use throughout your program. There are two types of procedures: functions and subroutines. * Function. A procedure that returns a value after it completes its task. When called, functions typically appear on the right side of an equal sign in an expression. * Subroutine. A procedure that does not return a value after it completes its...

...Visual Basic – Messages and data input/output Introduction One way for a user to communicate with a procedure is via a dialogue box. The easiest way to do this in VB is to use one of the pre-defined ones. VB has two kinds, a Message box and an Input box. Message box The MsgBox function displays a message, waits for the user to click a button and returns a value indicating which button has been chosen. The simplest MsgBox contains only a message string and an OK button. The general syntax is MsgBox(prompt [,buttons] [,title]), where the quantities within [] are optional arguments, with prompt: string expression displayed in the message (max length 1024 characters) buttons: numerical expression that is sum of values specifying the type of buttons to display, title: string expression displayed in the title bar. Some of the button values are given below. (For a full list see the Help file). Value Constant Display 0 vbOKOnly OK button only 1 vbOKCancel OK and Cancel buttons 3 vbYesNoCancel Yes, No and Cancel buttons 4 vbYesNo Yes and No buttons 32 vbQuestion Query icon 48 vbExclamation Warning message icon 0 vbDefaultButton1 First button is default 256 vbDefaultButton2 Second button is default 512 vbDefaultButton3 Third button is default The value returned by the MsgBox function depends on the button pressed. Some values are listed below. Button selected Value Constant OK 1 vbOK Cancel 2 vbCancel Yes 6 vbYes No 7 vbNo The MsgBox function can be used as a simple debug tool. To...

...Week 7 iLab—Sales Tax TCO 3: Given a simple problem, design and desk-check a solution algorithm requiring a modular design that is expressed in terms of pseudocode or program notes, input-process-output (IPO) analysis, and flow chart. * TCO 7: Given a program with logic errors that is intended as a solution to a simple problem, employ debugging diagnostics to remove and correct the errors. TCO 8: Given a more complex problem, develop a complete solution that includes a comprehensive statement of the problem, complete program design, and program documentation. Scenario Your algorithm will write two functions called ComputeTotal( ) and ComputeTax( ). ComputeTotal( ) will receive the quantity of items purchased, and the unit price of each item. It will return the total sales (quantity times price). ComputeTax( ) will receive total sales as a number and the state as a string and return the amount of tax depending on the state. NJ requires 7% tax, FL requires 6% tax, and NY has 4% tax. The main program will ask for the name of the customer and read the name in a variable called name. It will also ask for one of the three states listed above. It will ask for the number of items sold and the unit price of the item. Main will then call ComputeTotal( ), passing the quantity and unit price. Main will then call ComputeTax( ), passing the state and the amount of sales and receive back the tax. Finally Main( ) will print out the total sales, the tax amount, and the total...

...Visual Basic Naming Rules Use the following rules when you name procedures, constants, variables, and arguments in a Visual Basic module: •You must use a letter as the first character. •You can't use a space, period (.), exclamation mark (!), or the characters @, &, $, # in the name. •Name can't exceed 255 characters in length. •Generally, you shouldn't use any names that are the same as the functions, statements, and methods in Visual Basic. You end up shadowing the same keywords in the language. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee440536(v=office.12).aspx Python Variable Naming Rules: 1. Must begin with a letter (a - z, A - B) or underscore (_). 2. Other characters can be letters, numbers or _ only. 3. Variable names are Case Sensitive. 4. There are some reserved words which we cannot use as a variable name because Python uses them for other things. These are: and,del,from,not,while,as,elif,global,or,with,assert,else,if,pass,yield,break,except,import,print,break,except,import,print,class,exec,in,raise,class,exec,in,raise,continue,finally,is,return,continue,finally,is,return,def,for,lambda and try. http://www.programr.com/python-variable-naming-rules General Naming Conventions for Java.

...computer. The program is also robust; phpMyAdmin has enough functionality that you can probably create and run a Web site without knowing any SQL. Being free and open-source never hurt anybody, either. For these reasons, most hosting sites include phpMyAdmin in their control panel as the default MySQL administration tool. phpMyAdmin has some nice extras, such as importing and exporting Excel, OpenDocument, and XML files, and a tool that generates a PDF image of your database schema. Visual Basic According to Laud (2012) Visual Basic is a programming language and integrated development environment (IDE). It derives from the much older BASIC programming language, and so is considered a useful and relatively easy programming language for the beginner to learn. Visual Basic (VB) is now integrated into many different software applications and also web applications. Visual Basic was developed to be easy to learn, with a quick learning curve and a diverse scope of possibilities. Using the Visual Basic software, you can either hard-code or use the developer software to assist you throughout. It's also used to create ActiveX controls (for web usage and other controls), .dll file extensions or executables for standalone operation.
