Question

Objective: Only attempt this assignment after thoroughly reading Chapter 4 of the Visual Basic text. The objective of the assignment is to write a program in Visual Basic that applies decision logic within the program. Another objective is to work through any syntax errors encountered (debugging) to develop a correct solution that is free of errors.

Description: Create a working Visual Basic solution using the Visual Studio IDE that accepts two numbers from the user and displays one of the following messages: First is larger, Second is larger, Numbers are equal. Provided your logic from last week was correct, you can use the pseudocode and flowchart from last's week's assignment to help you code your solution. After you output one of the three messages, calculate the average of the 2 numbers and display it for the user.

Requirements: For full credit, make sure that you create your program using Visual Studio. Also make sure that the program compiles (builds) successfully and without any errors. To test the logic of your program, make sure to try many different combinations of numbers. Ensure that in addition to displaying one of the three messages to the user that you also calculate and display the average as described.

Answer 1

This a a program in Visual Basic, it runs and compiles succesfully.

Imports System

Module operators
   Sub Main()
      Dim a As Double 
      Dim b As Double
      a=Console.ReadLine()
      b=Console.ReadLine()
      Dim avg As Double= (a+b)/2
      If (a = b) Then
         Console.WriteLine("Numbers are equal")
      Else If (a>b)
         Console.WriteLine("First is larger")
      Else
         Console.WriteLine("Second is larger")
      End If
      Console.WriteLine("Average is {0}",avg)
   End Sub
End Module

Here's the output for Input 12 and 9 respectively.
