How to do this in Visual basic? - vb.net

Question

How to do the "a++" and "b++" in Visual basic?
What is the another codes for there in Vb?
The names there are just example.
int a = 0;
int b = 0;
{
if (ans1.Text == "James")
{
a++;
}
else
{
b++;
}
if (ans2.Text == "Ryan")
{
a++;
}
else
{
b++;
}
if (ans3.Text == "Mac")
{
a++;
}
else
{
b++;
}
t1.Text = a.ToString();
t2.Text = b.ToString();
}

Answer 1

Like this:
a += 1
b += 1
(...)

Answer 2

Like this
DIM a as integer = 0
DIM b as integer = 0
If ans1.Text = "James" Then
a += 1
Else
b += 1
End If
If ans2.Text = "Ryan" Then
a += 1
Else
b += 1
End If
If ans3.Text = "Mac" Then
a += 1
Else
b += 1
End If
t1.Text = a.ToString()
t2.Text = b.ToString()

Answer 3

Your question has already been answered but I think it would be useful to see how you could simplify your code:
Dim correctAnswers As Integer = 0
Dim totalQuestions As Integer = 3'you need to modify this is you add more questions
'increment the number of correct answers for each one we find
correctAnswers += If(ans1.text = "James", 1, 0)
correctAnswers += If(ans2.text = "Ryan", 1, 0)
correctAnswers += If(ans3.text = "Mac", 1, 0)
'show the number of correct and incorrect answers
t1.Text = correctAnswers.ToString()
t2.Text = (totalQuestions - correctAnswers).ToString() 'show the number of incorrect questions

Answer 4

Neither the postfix nor prefix ++ are defined in Visual Basic.
Your only realistic option is to use a = a + 1 (or, in later BASICs, a += 1) instead (note the lack of a ; for a statement terminator). But note that this will not evaluate to the previous value of a and the entire construct is not an expression in the C / C++ sense. You could build a function to mimic a++ but that would be too obfuscating.
