How do you divide a segment equally with a range in visual basic?

example-

length is 144 in

range- 7.5 - 9in

answer- (18) at (range 8 in)

Hi there,

There are loads of ways to do this. Here is one:

Sub Demo()
Dim Length As Double
Dim Range As Double

    Length = 144
    Range = 8

    MsgBox (Answer(Length, Range))
End Sub

Function Answer(L As Double, R As Double)
    Answer = L / R
End Function

This should be a start for you

Cheers

Jon.

Thanks Jon

- can this be done within the parameters instead of iLogic?

Yes, it's not difficult, but can be tricky and frustrating! Parameters can be pretty fickle when it comes to units.

If you have:

d0 = Length (in)

d1 = Range (in)

d2 = Answer/Segments (ul)

Note that the inch units cancel each other to give a unitless value (in/in = ul). 

Cheers

Jon.
