1 Determine The Output Displayed When The Button Is Clicked

Assignment Instructions:

1. Determine the output displayed when the button is clicked. Private Sub btnDisplay_Click(...) Handles btnDisplay.Click Dim nums() As Integer = {3, 5, 8, 10, 21} Dim total As Integer = 0 For Each num As Integer In nums If (num Mod 2 = 0) Then total += 1 End If Next txtOutput.Text = total & “ even numbers” End Sub

2. Determine the output displayed when the button is clicked. Assume the five lines of the file Dates.txt contain the numbers 1492, 1776, 1812, 1929, and 1941 and the file is in the appropriate folder. Private Sub btnDisplay_Click(...) Handles btnDisplay.Click Dim dates() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines(“Dates.txt”) Dim total As Integer = 0 For Each yr As String In dates If (CInt(yr) >= 1900) Then Total += 1 End If Next txtOutput.Text = total & “ 20th-century dates”

3. Identify the errors in the following program segment: Dim nums() As Integer = {1, 2, 3) For Each num As Integer In nums Num += 100 Next MessageBox.Show(CStr(nums.Sum))

4. Determine the output displayed when the button is clicked: Structure College Dim name As String Dim stat As String Dim yearFounded As Integer End Structure Private Sub btnDisplay_Click(...) Handles btnDisplay.Click Dim school As College school.name = “USC” school.state = “CA” school.yearFounded = 1880 ‘Now.Year is the current year Dim age As Integer = Now.Year - school.yearFounded txtOutput.Text = school.name & “ is “ & age & “ years old.”

5. Write a program using the file Baseball.txt that requests a team as input from a list and displays the players from that team. The players should be sorted in decreasing order by the number of hits they had during the season. The Baseball.txt file contains data about the performance of major league baseball players during the 2009 regular season. Each record of the file contains four fields – name, team, atBats, and hits. For example: Aaron Hill, Blue Jays, 682, 195; Ichiro Suzuki, Mariners, 639, 225; Derek Jeter, Yankees, 634, 212.

6. Determine the errors in the following code: Structure Vitamins Dim a As Double Dim c As Double End Structure Private Sub btnDisplay_Click(...) Handles btnDisplay.Click Dim minimum As Vitamins minimum.c = 60 minimum.a = 5000 lstOutput.Items.Add(minimum) End Sub

Paper For Above instruction

The provided homework assignment comprises several segments addressing fundamental programming concepts in Visual Basic .NET, explicit file handling, data processing, and error identification. This comprehensive analysis discusses each part to facilitate understanding and correctness in implementation.

Question 1: Counting Even Numbers

The first segment involves a loop that iterates through an integer array {3, 5, 8, 10, 21}. The code checks each number with the modulo operator to determine if it’s even (i.e., divisible by 2). For each even number, it increments a total counter, which ultimately results in the count of even numbers in the array. The array contains 8 and 10 as the even numbers. Therefore, the variable total would be 2. The output displayed in the textbox would be "2 even numbers".

Question 2: Reading and Counting Dates

This task involves reading lines from a text file named "Dates.txt" containing years, then counting the number of dates from the 20th century (i.e., year >= 1900). The file contains five entries: 1492, 1776, 1812, 1929, 1941. The code converts each string to an integer and compares. The years 1929 and 1941 are greater than or equal to 1900, so the total count would be 2. The output will be "2 20th-century dates".

Question 3: Error Identification in Code

The code attempts to iterate over an integer array with a For Each loop but has syntax errors: a mismatched bracket in array initialization (using a closing parenthesis instead of brace) and the loop variable "num" is incremented rather than used correctly. Also, "nums.Sum" should be "nums.Sum()" to invoke the Sum method. Variable naming inconsistencies, using "Total" which should be "total", could cause errors. These issues would cause compilation errors and logical mistakes in sum calculation.

Question 4: Struct Usage and Age Calculation

Here, a structure named College contains name, state, and yearFounded. An instance is created with name "USC", state "CA", and year founded 1880. The code calculates the age by subtracting yearFounded from the current year (assumed to be obtained via Now.Year). If Now.Year is 2024, the age would be 144. The output displays "USC is 144 years old." — assuming the current year is 2024.

Question 5: File Handling and Data Sorting

This task requires reading a file (Baseball.txt) containing players' data, filtering by team, and sorting players by hits in descending order. The process involves reading each line, parsing comma-separated values, storing relevant data in a list or collection, filtering based on user input, and sorting the list in decreasing order of hits. The output displays the sorted list of players from the selected team by their hit counts. Efficient use of LINQ or custom sorting algorithms would be suitable here.

Question 6: Error Analysis in Data Structures

The code defines a Vitamins structure with Double fields a and c. In the button click event, it attempts to instantiate a Vitamins object and assign values to c and a, then add the object to a list box. However, errors can occur if the Vitamins structure isn’t properly initialized or if the list box cannot handle the Vitamins object directly. To fix this, override ToString method or add display logic to showcase the fields. Also, care must be taken to initialize the structure before setting its fields.

Concluding Remarks

Overall, these exercises reinforce foundational programming skills including array manipulation, file I/O, data validation, error detection, and object-oriented design in Visual Basic. Each task emphasizes different aspects of coding correctness and logical reasoning, which are essential qualities for developing robust applications.
