Year Population - repeat - Dr_Suess - 05-03-2003

Hey, sorry maybe i wasnt specific enough in my last post....i wanted it to be in a for..next loop, and when it prints out the year it prints out all the years till the one u specify...

Ex: ...2005, would print out all the years populations up to 2005 in a nice chart form...

Thanx for your help...
bye

First off, were not here to do your homework..

second:

Code:
When posting a question, especially if its home work, you need to show that you have attempted it in some way. Either by showing some code that you have written or where your thoughts on the matter have stopped or got stuck.

Third off , its not hard, psuedo code, im sure you can port this

Code:
population = what you want

yearat = The year it stars off

for 0 to yeartogoto - (yearat +1)

'I added the + 1 becuase otherwise it would calculate it for year 2003

'Alternatively, you could just move the next statement after the print statement

population = population *1.05

PRINT "your popluation is  "; population

next

'Please note im intentionally not using fully compatible qb code so you still have some work to do

'And to get the current population you use the variable you are looping with + year at

And finally, instead of wriing a WHOLE NEW TOPIC, you can reply right?

Please, try it yourself first, THAN ask question.
