VB.NET declaration - vb.net

I have to declare n = 01. But whenever I try it's getting changed to 1.
What should I try?

If this is just for display purposes then I would use the .ToString("0#"), unless you really need to do calculations based on two significant figures.
For index As Integer = 1 To 100
Console.WriteLine(index.ToString("0#"))
Next
Gives you
01
02
.
.
100

How to compute custom timestamp in COBOL85 Tandem?

I want to calculate timestamp for custom date and time.
E.g 23/09/2022 4:30:45
To calculate Julian Timestamp of current date and time you can use JULIANTIMESTAMP using ENTER TAL but for Custom timestamp we have COMPUTETIMESTAMP GPC .
Syntax from GPC Reference manual
jval := COMPUTETIMESTAMP ( date-n-time,
[error-mask] );
Data types
jval is 64-bit Fixed Julian timestamp .
date-n-time is an integer array of date and time [YYYY,MM,DD,HH,,MM,SS,MIL,MIC] all elements of array are compulsory.
error-mask is integer array of bits 1 or 0 of length 8.
So let's Jump to the main Question how to Calculate Custom timestamp in COBOL85 . I have small example .

I want to know the specific reason why we have take those 256,.. numbers in the conversion below

Projected code is used to convert a date into integer and vice-versa. I want to know the reason why here we have used this specific hexadecimal codes and the number series to get back the date from int. If there is an article about this code sample it would also help me understand this code actually.
I have tried online Hex to Decimal conversion for this codes and found its a 256^1,256^2... even though trying not able to find the exact reason.
declare #dDate date = '2017-10-12'
declare #iDate int = 0
select #iDate = ( (datepart(year,#dDate)*65536 | datepart(month,#dDate)*256 | datepart(dd,#dDate)))
select (#iDate&0xfff0000)/65536 --year
select (#iDate&0xff00)/256 --Month
select (#iDate&0xff) --Date
& is an operator doing bitwise AND. "|" is bitwise OR. See here and here. Also see here for an explanation on using bitwise AND/OR to store multiple number values in a single number column.
This part:
#iDate&0xfff0000
will "mask", or eliminate/replace-with-zeros, the portion of iDate that isn't from 256^2. Then you divide by 65536 -- which is simply reversing the original math of multiplying the year by 65536.
If the concept of bitwise AND is foreign, I'll give an example that DOESN'T WORK in decimal. Bitwise AND converts the whole thing to binary and then masks things (like IP subnetting, if you're familiar with that).
Anyway, consider a decimal number 20171012. If such a thing as a decimal-wise AND existed, it could look like 20171012&11110000. The "1" places are "keepers" and the "0" places are "throw-aways". If you stack them vertically, the result is to keep the values with a "1" beneath them and replace the values with a "0" beneath them with a "0".
number 20171012
dec-wise AND 11110000
result 20170000
now the result isn't 2017, so you'd have to divide by 10000 to get 2017.
For 20171012&1100 you have to use implied leading zeros:
number 20171012
dec-wise AND 00001100
result 1000
I probably would have converted to int by adding the year*10000 and month * 100 and day. Reverting back I would use a combination of integer division and MOD. But I think the bitwise AND is perhaps a bit more elegant (particularly for getting the month).
Based on your comment, I will include how I have converted dates to int and reverted back:
declare #dDate date = '2017-10-12'
declare #iDate int
set #iDate = year(#dDate) * 10000 + month(#dDate) * 100 + day(#dDate)
select #iDate
select 'year', #iDate/10000 -- basic integer division provides the year
select 'month', (#iDate % 10000)/100 -- combine modulo and integer division to get the month
select 'day', #iDate % 100 -- basic modulo arithmetic provides the day
returns:
20171012
year 2017
month 10
day 12
This is bit manipulation.
Bit Shifting
Decimal 3 = Binary 11
If we do a left shift (<<) 4 bits in 3 it will become 48 which is equal to binary 110000 <- 4 zero bits added due to left shift
But since we don't have bit shifting operators in T-SQL therefore we can do the math.
Left Shifting of n bits in number x = x * 2^n
Therefore, multiple a number with 256 is actually left shift 8 bits from that number (2^8 = 256).
Later on when you do bitwise OR between 2 numbers they actually "concatenate" the bits up.
For example, you need to concatenate 2 binary numbers, (3) 11 and (2) 10, the resultant number should be 1110 = 14
So first we'll do 2 left shift in 3 = 3 * 2^2 = 12 and then we will do bitwise OR this number with the next number
12 = 1100
2 = 0010
OR
---------------
14 = 1110
Your example is actually saving the whole date in an integer variable which is actually efficient way of saving a date.

SAS - Advanced querying

I have one SQL table with the data in SAS. The first column is a datetime, and there is one row for each second. The set spans for about 20 minutes. The other columns contain integer values.
Here is what I need:
For example, Let's pick 50. How many times did the integer value go from below 50 to above 50 and stay above 50 for at least n seconds.
Is it possible to conduct such analysis with proc sql? If yes, how so, and if not, how else?
I am new to SAS, so any help is appreciated. Let me know if you need more info!
Thanks!
How many times did the integer value go from below/above 50
I think this could be solution to first part of the question. Resolution is maybe the best obtained by comparing current value with prior
data begin; /*Some test data...*/
input int_in_question;
datalines;
51
51
49
55
55
40
40
60
40
;
run;
data With_calc;
set begin;
if int_in_question < 50 and
lag(int_in_question)>=50
then Times_below_50+1;
run;

How to display the numeric numbers

Here's the content of my DataGrid
id
1
2
3A
4
5
6A
..
...
10V1
I want to get the max number from the datagrid. Then, I want to
display the next number (In this case: 11) in the textbox beside the grid
Expected Output
id
1
2
3A
4
5
6A
..
...
10V1
11
I tried the following code:
textbox1.text = gridList.Rows(gridlist.RowCount() - 1).Cells(1).Value + 1
It works if the previous row values is entirely numeric. However, if the value is alpahnumeric, I am getting the following error:
Conversion from string "10V1" to type 'Double' is not valid.
Can someone help me solve this problem? I am looking for a solution in VB.Net
You may want to look into Regex to do that (based on what I understand from your question)
Here's a related question on this.
Regex.Match will return the part of the string that will match the expression... In your case, you want the first number in your string (Try "^\d+" as your expression, it will find any serie of numbers at the beginning of your string). You can then convert the result string into an int and add 1 to it.
Hope this helps!
Edit: Here's more info on regex expressions.

Looping through variables in spss

Im looking for a way to loop through variables (eg week01 to week52) and count the number of times the value changes across the them. For example
week01 to week18 may be coded as 1
week19 to week40 may be coded as 4
and week 41 to 52 may be coded as 3
That would be 2 transistions within the data.
How could i go about writing a code that can find me this information? I'm rather new to this and some help to get me in the right direction would be very appreciated.
You can use the DO REPEAT command to loop through variable lists. Below is an example of using this command to create a before date and after date to compare, and increment a count variable whenever these two variables are different.
data list fixed / observation (A1).
begin data
1
2
3
4
5
end data.
*making random data.
vector week(52).
do repeat week = week1 to week52.
compute week = RND(RV.UNIFORM(0.5,4.4)).
end repeat.
execute.
*initialize count to zero.
compute count = 0.
do repeat week_after = week2 to week52 / week_before = week1 to week51.
if week_after <> week_before count = count + 1.
end repeat.
execute.
