  1. Chapter 6: The Repetition Structure Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005, Third Edition

  2. The Repetition Structure (Looping)Lesson A Objectives • Code the repetition structure using the For...Next and Do...Loop statements • Include the repetition structure in pseudocode • Include the repetition structure in a flowchart • Initialize and update counters and accumulators Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005, Third Edition

  3. Previewing the Completed Application • Go to Run command on Windows Start menu • Browse to the VB2005\Chap06 folder • Open the Shoppers.exe file • The Shoppers Haven user interface appears Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005, Third Edition

  4. Previewing the Completed Application (continued) Figure 6-1: Interface showing the discount and discounted price amounts Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005, Third Edition

  5. The Repetition Structure • Repetition structure (loop) • Repeatedly processes instructions until condition met • Example: calculate net pay for each employee • Pretest loop • Condition evaluated prior to instruction processing • Posttest loop • Condition evaluated after instruction processing Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005, Third Edition

  6. The For…Next Statement • For…Next statement • Processes instructions a specific number of times • Condition tested before processing (pretest loop) • Also called a counter controlled loop • Syntax and examples to follow Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005, Third Edition

  7. The For…Next Statement (continued) Figure 6-2: Syntax and examples of the For...Next statement (continued) Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005, Third Edition

  8. The For…Next Statement (continued) Figure 6-2: Syntax and examples of the For...Next statement Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005, Third Edition

  9. The For…Next Statement (continued) • Syntactic Elements of For…Next statement • Begins with the For clause, ends with Next clause • counter: numeric variable tracking iterations • startvalue and endvalue provide looping range • stepvalue increments or decrements counter • statements: processed in the body of the loop • Hexagon: flowchart symbol representing For…Next Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005, Third Edition

  12. The Monthly Payment Calculator Application • Task of xCalcButton’s Click event procedure • Calculate and display monthly car payments • Use term of five years and rates from 5 – 10% • Basic structure of the For…Next statement • Use a procedure level variable, rate, as a counter • Set starting and ending values to 0.05 and 0.01 • Set the step value to 0.1 • Calculate monthly payment for current rate • Display interest rate and corresponding payment Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005, Third Edition

  17. The Do…Loop Statement (continued) • Syntactic elements for the Do…Loop statement • Begins with Do clause, ends with the Loop clause • Enter instructions to repeat between both clauses • Use either While or Until keyword before condition • Condition must evaluate to Boolean True or False • Location of {While|Until} condition by syntax version • Pretest loop: appears in the Do clause • Posttest loop: appears in the Loop clause • Diamond: represents loop condition in a flowchart Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005, Third Edition

  20. Using Counters and Accumulators • Used to calculate subtotals, totals, and averages • Counter: numeric variable used for counting • Accumulator: variable used to tally various amounts • Initialize: set initial value of counter or accumulator • Updating (incrementing or decrementing) • Changing value stored in counter or accumulator • Update statement is used within a repetition structure Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005, Third Edition

  21. The Sales Express Application • Objective: display average sales of company • Structure of xCalcButton Click event procedure • Use a pretest loop to retrieve each sales amount • Update accumulator within loop to tally gross sales • Update counter within loop to keep track of entries • Exit loop after data entry has been completed • If counter is > 0, calculate average sales amount • Display the average sales amount Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005, Third Edition

  23. Summary – Lesson A • Repetition structure (loop): repeats a set of instructions until some condition is met • Use a For...Next statement to code pretest loops • Use a Do...Loop statement to code pretest and posttest loops • Counters and accumulators must be initialized • Counters and accumulators are updated in a loop Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005, Third Edition

  24. Nested Repetition StructuresLesson B Objectives • Nest repetition structures Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005, Third Edition

  25. Nesting Repetition Structures • Nested repetition structure • Inner loop placed entirely within outer loop • Placement of inner loop is known as nesting • Clocks use nested loops to keep track of the time • Analogizing minute and second hands to loops • Outer loop corresponds to the minute hands • Inner loop corresponds to the second hand Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005, Third Edition
