Weekly status Report

On Monday we were given a lesson about using the Visual Basic Operators, and the types of operators, like arithmetic, used to make calculations,like addition, substraction, multiplication, division, modulus, and exponent. Comparison, used to compare data values, like =, >, <, <=, >=, and <>. And logic, used to combine 2 or more tests in a single comparison. Logical operators are used to compare data values. The logic operators are "And", "Or", and "Not". Then we had to create a payroll application in a coffee shop for the employees on the number of hours worked, the amount of coffee cups sold, and depending on the total amount of money earned, the tax rate varies. I was still on my string assignment, because i had to job shadow last Thursday.

On Tuesday, I started the payroll application, and first it seemed a little difficult, but I had gone very far in it. On Wednesday, i finished the payroll application to find out that i had to add the menu and dialog box which were new features. This was a little challenging, considering I made some mistakes on it, which I found out about on Friday. On Thursday, I we had the literacy test, and got the rest of the day off. On Friday, we got a clearer lesson on the dialog boxes in Visual Basic, and I started fixing my mistakes in the program, and i do not completely understand the dialog boxes, I will hope to soon, as I finish my payroll application.
