1. Chapter 15 I’m on the Inside; You’re on the Outside (Nested Loops) Clearly Visual Basic: Programming with Visual Basic 2010 2 nd Edition

2. Objectives Clearly Visual Basic: Programming with Visual Basic 2010, 2 nd Edition 2 After studying Chapter 15, you should be able to: Nest repetition structures Utilize a text box’s Multiline, ReadOnly, and ScrollBars properties

3. One Loop within Another Loop Clearly Visual Basic: Programming with Visual Basic 2010, 2 nd Edition 3 Repetition structures can be nested Programmer Determines whether a problem’s solution requires a nested repetition structure Figure 15-1 Shows problem specification and algorithm from Chapter 12

6. Clock Application Clearly Visual Basic: Programming with Visual Basic 2010, 2 nd Edition 6 Clock Uses nested repetition structures to keep track of time The second hand is controlled by the inner (nested) loop The minute hand is controlled by the outer loop Figure 15-3 shows logic used by clock’s minute and second hands Figure 15-4 shows interface for the Clock application

9. Revisiting the Monthly Payment Calculator Application Clearly Visual Basic: Programming with Visual Basic 2010, 2 nd Edition 9 Figure 15-6 Shows the output, processing, input items, and algorithm for the Monthly Payment Calculator application Application calculates and displays: Monthly payments on a loan Payments are calculated using: Principal and term entered by the user A loop that varies the annual interest rates from 4% through 7%

12. Revisiting the Monthly Payment Calculator Application (cont’d.) Clearly Visual Basic: Programming with Visual Basic 2010, 2 nd Edition 12 ScrollBars property Indicates whether any scroll bars appear on the text box Multiline property Specifies whether the text box can accept and display multiple lines of text Setting the text box’s ReadOnly property to True Prevents user from editing contents of a text box

16. Summary Clearly Visual Basic: Programming with Visual Basic 2010, 2 nd Edition 16 Repetition structures can be nested For a nested repetition structure to work correctly: It must be contained entirely within the outer repetition structure When a text box’s Multiline property is set to True: It can accept and display multiple lines of text

17. Summary (cont’d.) Clearly Visual Basic: Programming with Visual Basic 2010, 2 nd Edition 17 A text box’s ScrollBars property Determines whether scroll bars appear on the control Setting the text box’s ReadOnly property to True Prevents the user from editing contents of a text box
