DIM SHARED city.amount%: city.amount% = 10
DIM SHARED price.to.city%(1 TO city.amount%, 1 TO city.amount%)
DIM SHARED city.name$(1 TO 2, 1 to city.amount%) '(2) is (0 TO 2)

didnt quite get that

city.name.from$ = UCASE$(city.name.from$)
city.name.to$ = UCASE$(city.name.to$)

that

IF city.name.from$ = temp$ THEN city.from% = j%
IF city.name.to$ = temp$ THEN city.to% = j%

and that

SHARED means that the array is accessible in all subs and functions; it is global.

% added to a variable means it is an signed INTEGER, a number with a value from -32768 to 32767.

array1(10, 10) is an array with two dimensions from 0 to 10.
array1(4 TO 10, 4 TO 10) is an array with 2 dimensions from 4 to 10.

>city.name.from$ = UCASE$(city.name.from$)
>city.name.to$ = UCASE$(city.name.to$)

$ is a string variable. UCASE$ makes all the letters of what's inside it uppercase. This is necessary to compare the city names to your own list of city names. ("Bangladesh" should actually be "BANGLADESH"..)

>IF city.name.from$ = temp$ THEN city.from% = j%
>IF city.name.to$ = temp$ THEN city.to% = j%

This compares both of the cities and, if the city matches temp$, which is the city with index j%, it gets the current j% to later get:

price.to.city%(city.from%, city.to%)

yeah, it does work but theres still one problem

see, where ive been taught QB, all these commands have not been used and ppl get very suspicious if i use extra commands..

i know it sounds stupid but still we have been taught only :
DIM (a,b)
OPEN blah blah blah
INPUT #
CLOSE
Etc.
And of cource basic commands and loops

So i dont want to sound dumb or anything but i SERIOUSLY cant use the code uve givin!!

[Neo]

EXACTLY which commands haven't you had yet? So then we can see what we can do for you.

[Janesh]

the command in Agamemnus' code IM SHARED has not been taught to us

[Shogun]

you could easly look it up...

[Janesh]

look it up ?

[Agamemnus]

Yes....... click on the command...... then open up the help menu......

You can get rid of "shared" if you want to....

[Neo]

Yes, if you haven't been taught how to do SUBs and FUNCTIONs yet, you can just delete the 'SHARED' and the program will still work.

ohh ok..lol im so stupidd!
