Road Trip
Programming challenge description:
You've decided to make a road trip across the country in a straight line. You have chosen the direction you'd like to travel and made a list of cities in that direction that have gas stations to stop at and fill up your tank. To make sure that this route is viable, you need to know the distances between the adjacent cities in order to be able to travel this distance on a single tank of gasoline, (No one likes running out of gas.) but you only know distances to each city from your starting point.
Input:
Your program should read lines from standard input. Each line contains the list of cities and distances to them, comma delimited, from the starting point of your trip. You start your trip at point 0. The cities with their distances are separated by semicolon.
Output:
Print out the distance from the starting point to the nearest city, and the distances between two nearest cities separated by comma, in order they appear on the route.

check_game_over(): as the name suggests, this function should check to see if the game is over (if one side has no stones left in all of its pockets). It takes as an argument the game board and should return True if the game is over and False otherwise.
The condition that controls a Do While loop must be true for the loop to be executed.
Checkboxes are used in designing the user interface for situations where the user may choose only one of a few choices.
Boolean variables are often used to improve the readability / clarity of the program code.
For Next loops can have both negative and positive step values.
If no item has been selected in a listbox, the SelectedIndex property of the listbox will have a value of zero.
A Boolean variable must be initialized after the If instruction in which it is used is executed.
A post-test loop is a loop that is designed to be executed at least once.
In coding a Select Case instruction, the only thing that may appear after the Select Case keywords is a variable.
A Do loop begins with the keyword Do and ends with the keyword Loop.
The condition that controls a Do Until loop must be true for the loop to be executed.
Radio buttons are used in designing the user interface for situations where the user…

A food truck has multiple food items as well as a menu which contains a selection of the food items which will be sold for that day. A maximum of 10 food items can appear on the menu for any day. For each food item keep a code, description, category, price and quantity in stock (code, description and category are not usually changed). Create a comma delimited text file called "items.txt" for 15 or more food items, indicating the item's description, category, price and quantity in stock.

To calculate the price, you multiply the area of the floor (width times length) by the price per square foot of carpet. For example, the area of floor that is 12 feet long and 10 feet wide is 120 square feet. To cover that floor with carpet that costs $8 per square foot would cost $960. First, you should create a class named RoomDimension that has two fields: one for the length of the room and one for the width. The RoomDimension class should have a method that returns the area of the room. (The area of the room is the room’s length multiplied by the room’s width.) Next you should create a RoomCarpet class that has a RoomDimension object as a field. It should also have a field for the cost of the carpet per square foot. The RoomCarpet class should have a method that returns the total cost of the carpet.

Use a button labeled Addto copy member names from the general list to the club list. Use a button labeled Remove to remove a student from the club list. Keep a running count of the number of names in the club list. The application should perform the following error-checking:• Do not permit the same person’s name to be added twice.• Avoid throwing an exception if the user clicks the Add button before having selected a student name.• Avoid a runtime error if the user clicks the Remove selected member button, without having selected a member name In "Starting out with visual basic 8th edition programming challenge 5"arrow_forwardSlot Machine SimulationA slot machine is a gambling device that the user inserts money into and then pulls a lever (or presses a button).

Create a program that simulates a slot machine. When the program runs, it should do the following: Asks the user to enter the amount of money he or she wants to enter into the slot machine. Instead of displaying images, the program will randomly select a word from the following list: Cherries, Oranges, Plums, Bells, Melons, Bars To select a word, the program can generate a random number in the range of 0 through 5.
