This is your assignment so you are expected to do the work yourself. At the very least you should be able to figure out which section of the documentation to read.

"At the very least you should be able to figure out which section of the documentation to read"

I cant get it. What do you mean????

Richard has trying to tell you that you should start doing anything ;)

Anything???

Maciej Los 6-Jun-13 4:27am

Sorry, something ;)

What class of object will you read the name into? Go to the documentation for that class and see what methods it has to help split it into separate items and recombine in a different order. This is basic problem analysis which you should do automatically as a developer.

I am sorry but I am absolutely new....

According to this question, you already know C/C++, so you should be able to solve this assignment with your eyes closed.

I cant see any similarity in "C/C++" and "VB"

Richard MacCutchan 6-Jun-13 4:02am

Then I suspect your claim to know C/C++ is not actually the truth.

[no name] 6-Jun-13 4:05am

text3.text = val(text1.text) + val(text2.text)

and in C/C++ it is

main()
{
text3 = text1 + text2 /*(All are int variables)*/
}

Neither of which has anything to do with your problem.

Think about the issue:
1. what are the inputs? The first, middle and last name as a single item.
2. what are the outputs? Three separate items, first, middle and last.
3. how to get from 1 to 2?
3.1. read the name: think of different ways for this
3.2 use some method to break the name into its parts: substring, split, etc.
3.3 set the result fields to the different parts: print, set textbox etc.

Developement is not just about writing code, it's about analysing a problem and figuring out the set of steps required to reach the desired solution. That answer will be the same whatever language you decide to use.

Solution 2

There are a couple of ways to do this:
1) Use string.Split[^]
2) Use string.IndexOf[^] with string.Substring[^]

Either will work, but since it's your homework that's all the help you should need! :laugh:
