Control Structures - Repetition: AAPP00-8-3-2

The document discusses different types of repetition control structures in Visual Basic .NET, including Do While, Do Until, and For...Next loops. It provides examples of how to write each type of loop to iterate through numbers or accept user input. The key differences between each loop type are explained, such as Do While testing at the beginning or end of each iteration. Nested loops are also introduced.

Exercise 1
• Draw a flowchart and write a program to
display the sum of the digits from 1 to 10

i.e. 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10
• Show your answer using the
Do While .. Loop
• Use a MessageBox to display the Sum

While End While
Exercise 1 Solution
Dim i, intSum as integer
‘Sum the integers from 1 to 10
i=1
Do While i <=10
sum = sum + i
i=i+1
Loop
MessageBox “The sum is” & sum

Do Loop
There are 4 versions of the Do Loop:
Do While condition is True Do Until condition is true
execute statement(s) execute statement(s)
Loop Loop

•Do While test at beginning •Do Until test at beginning


a pre-test loop a pre-test loop
Do Do
execute statement(s) execute statement(s)
Loop While condition is true Loop Until condition is true

•Do While test at end •Do Until test at end


a post-test loop a post-test loop

Do Loop
There are 4 versions of the Do Loop:
Use the form that “reads” most naturally
In this lesson, we will concentrate on the
Do … Loop While – with the test at the end

Do
execute statement(s)
Loop While condition is true

Exercise 2 & 3
• Write a program that accepts 5 Fahrenheit
temperatures using an InputBox and converts
them to Celsius.
• Display all the converted temperatures in Celsius
using a list box.

Formula : FtoC = (fahrenheit - 32) * 5/9

• Use a Do While … Loop


• Repeat the program using a Do … Until Loop

Exercises 2 and 3 Solutions

Dim fahr, celsius as Double Dim fahr, celsius as Double


Dim ctr as integer Dim ctr as integer
ctr = 1 ctr = 1
Do While ctr <= 5 Do
fahr = InputBox(“Enter a fahr = InputBox(“Enter a
temperature in Fahrenheit”) temperature in Fahrenheit”)
