Functions in Visual Basic - vb.net

I'm supposed to make a score calculator for a Programming assignment, for a football game.
it has 4 textboxes and a button, the function NEEDS to be there for full credit, I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Public Class Form1
Dim intTotal = 0
Dim intFirst = 0
Dim intSecond = 0
Dim intThird = 0
Dim intFourth = 0
Private Sub btnCalculate_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnCalculate.Click
Try
Dim intFirst As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(txtFirst.Text)
Dim intSecond As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(txtSecond.Text)
Dim intThird As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(txtThird.Text)
Dim intFourth As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(txtFourth.Text)
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("Enter in Digits!")
End Try
intTotal = calcTotal(intFirst, intSecond, intThird, intFourth, intTotal)
Me.lblTotal.Text = intTotal 'Shows as 0 at run-time
End Sub
Function calcTotal(ByVal intFirst As Integer, ByVal intSecond As Integer, ByVal intThird As Integer, ByVal intFourth As Integer, ByVal intTotal As Integer) As Integer
intTotal = intFirst + intSecond + intThird + intFourth
Return intTotal
End Function
End Class
lblTotal ends up displaying 0.

Your variables are declared at the block-level inside the try catch. Move the declarations out of the block and remove the class-level declarations (since they're not necesarry).
Like this:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub btnCalculate_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnCalculate.Click
Dim intFirst As Integer = 0
Dim intSecond As Integer = 0
Dim intThird As Integer = 0
Dim intFourth As Integer = 0
Try
intFirst = Convert.ToInt32(txtFirst.Text)
intSecond = Convert.ToInt32(txtSecond.Text)
intThird = Convert.ToInt32(txtThird.Text)
intFourth = Convert.ToInt32(txtFourth.Text)
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("Enter in Digits!")
End Try
Dim intTotal as Integer = calcTotal(intFirst, intSecond, intThird, intFourth, intTotal)
Me.lblTotal.Text = intTotal 'Shows as 0 at run-time
End Sub
Function calcTotal(ByVal intFirst As Integer, ByVal intSecond As Integer, ByVal intThird As Integer, ByVal intFourth As Integer, ByVal intTotal As Integer) As Integer
Return intFirst + intSecond + intThird + intFourth
End Function
End Class

I am not sure what your problem is but your variable declaration are outside of your function . You should initialize them inside.

Math Game - How to making 10 Question as a ROUND

I am making a Math quiz game and I wondering why the question does not change to a NEW ONE when I get the right answer and HOW to make it to 10 and stop running then jump out a message box to ask the user want to PLAY AGAIN or not?
Public Class Multiplication
Dim TotalQuestion As Integer
Dim CorrectAnswer As Integer
Dim WrongAnswer As Integer
Dim R As New Random
Dim numOne As Integer = R.Next(0, 10)
Dim numTwo As Integer = R.Next(1, 10)
Dim Ans As Integer = 0
Dim Tries As Integer = 0
Private Sub Multiplication_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Generate()
End Sub
Sub Generate()
TotalQuestion = TotalQuestion + 1
Dim Show As String
Show = numOne & " x " & numTwo & " = "
lblQuestionMUL.Text = Show
End Sub
Private Function Multiply(ByVal num1 As Integer, ByVal num2 As Integer) As Integer
Return num1 * num2
Generate()
End Function
Private Sub btnEnter_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnEnter.Click
Integer.TryParse(lblQuestionMUL.Text, numOne & numTwo)
Ans = Multiply(numOne, numTwo)
If Val(txtAnswer.Text) = Ans Then
CorrectAnswer = CorrectAnswer + 1
Else
WrongAnswer = WrongAnswer + 1
End If
lblCorrectAns.Text = CorrectAnswer
lblWrongAns.Text = WrongAnswer
txtAnswer.Clear()
txtAnswer.Focus()
Generate()
End Sub
End Class
In addition to previous comments you should set the numOne and numTwo variables to random numbers in Generate Sub (Keeping the declaration as Global Variables). Your code just set them in the beginning to random numbers only once. Check the code below:
Public Class Multiplication
Dim TotalQuestion As Integer = 0
Dim CorrectAnswer As Integer
Dim WrongAnswer As Integer
Dim R As New Random
Dim NumOne As Integer
Dim NumTwo As Integer
Dim QuizCompleted As Boolean = False
Dim Ans As Integer = 0
Dim Tries As Integer = 0
Private Sub Multiplication_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Generate()
End Sub
Sub Generate()
If TotalQuestion < 10 Then
NumOne = R.Next(0, 10)
NumTwo = R.Next(1, 10)
TotalQuestion = TotalQuestion + 1
Dim Show As String
Show = NumOne & " x " & NumTwo & " = "
lblQuestionMUL.Text = Show
Else
QuizCompleted = True
End If
End Sub
Private Function Multiply(ByVal num1 As Integer, ByVal num2 As Integer) As Integer
Generate()
Return num1 * num2
End Function
Private Sub btnEnter_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnEnter.Click
Integer.TryParse(lblQuestionMUL.Text, NumOne & NumTwo)
Ans = Multiply(NumOne, NumTwo)
If Val(txtAnswer.Text) = Ans Then
CorrectAnswer = CorrectAnswer + 1
Else
WrongAnswer = WrongAnswer + 1
End If
lblCorrectAns.Text = CorrectAnswer
lblWrongAns.Text = WrongAnswer
txtAnswer.Clear()
txtAnswer.Focus()
If QuizCompleted Then
MsgBox("Quiz Completed")

Decimal to integer conversion error

I'm working on a school project using VIsual Studio 2015, the assignment is to create GUI "Commute Calculator" with three options for mode of transportation. I've wrote the code following the instructions in my textbook but am getting the following error:
"BC30057 Too many arguments to 'Private Function CarFindCost(intCommuteChoice As Integer, intDays As Integer) As Decimal'."
I'm a newbie to vs, but based on the error I believe the problem is with how I declared variables. I googled how to convert an integer to decimal, but haven't found anything that worked. The code is lengthy, but I included it all as an FYI. The error is in the private sub btnCommute and appears to be tied to three private functions: CarFindCost, BusFindCost and TrainFindCost. How to I fix it so I don't get errors on the variable intLength in the private sub bthCommute?

vb.Net Checking to see what are the two Largest Numbers

I have 4 text box that accepts numbers from user and i want to check for what are the two largest numbers entered, can this be done using if then else statements
Dim Big_num_1 As Integer
Dim Big_num_2 As Integer
'Dim txtbox_1 As Integer
'Dim txtbox_2 As Integer
'Dim txtbox_3 As Integer
'Dim txtbox_4 As Integer
Private Sub btnShow2BigNum_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnShow2BigNum.Click
'if then else statements
End Sub
i am a beginer in Vb.net and i would really appreciate any help that i can get
If possible i would like a If then else statement solution for this
This can be done with an if-statement like this..
Dim Big_num_1 As Integer = 0
Dim Big_num_2 As Integer = 0
'Dim txtbox_1 As Integer
'Dim txtbox_2 As Integer
'Dim txtbox_3 As Integer
'Dim txtbox_4 As Integer
Private Sub btnShow2BigNum_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnShow2BigNum.Click
Dim numList(4) as Integer
numList(0) = txtbox_1
numList(1) = txtbox_2
numList(2) = txtbox_3
numList(3) = txtbox_4
For x as Integer = 0 to numList.count - 1
If numList(x) > Big_num_1 Then
Big_num_2 = Big_num_1
Big_num_1 = numList(x)
Else If numList(x) > Big_num_2 Then
Big_num_2 = numList(x)
End If
Next
End Sub
Private Sub Docheck()
Dim Numbers As String() = {TextBox1.Text, TextBox2.Text, TextBox3.Text}
Dim Ordered As String() = Numbers.OrderByDescending(Function(x) CInt(x)).ToArray
Dim Highest As Integer = CInt(Ordered(0))
Dim SecondHighest As Integer = CInt(Ordered(1))
MessageBox.Show(String.Concat(Highest , " " , SecondHighest))
End Sub
And in your button click event you call
Docheck()
You could use If/Else statements, but that would be the hard way to do this:
Private Sub btnShow2BigNum_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnShow2BigNum.Click
Dim Numbers = { TextBox1.Text, TextBox2.Text, TextBox3.Text, TextBox4.Text }
Dim results = Numbers.Select(Function(s) Integer.Parse(s)).OrderByDescending().Take(2).ToList()
Big_num_1 = results(0)
Big_num_2 = results(1)
End Sub

Path from URL not from C:/ Drive

I found one code which auto-change proxies from own text file located in computer.
Now I would like to rather this get path from my own URL where I store my private list of proxies, so what I have to change in the code please? and could also someone explain why? thank you.

This sounds an awful lot like homework, but you really need to convert your integers properly and then perform actual comparisons.
