So our teacher assigned us 3 VB projects, I got one. But needed help with another
Goals: nested loops

It's making a mutiplication table, like this
1 2 3 4 5
2 4 6 8 10
3 6 9 12 15
4 8 12 16 20
5 10 15 20 25

I know the User Input is...
2 numbers, between 1-20 (inclusive), which will decide the numbers for the top and sides.

Need help starting this please

Edit: Using VB Express 2012

Thus far, don't know how to go from here

Start with 1 loop if you can't figure out two loops. make it go from 1 to 5 horizontally. then change 5 to user input.

then add a second loop to go vertically

Thanks.
having some trouble getting it to actually go horizontal and vertical.


so far..


All it's doing is say.. I put 1 in to the first textbox, 10 into the second, it will print number 1-10, but if I do 10 and 10, it prints 10

clearly, if you tell the loop to start at 10 and finish at 10, it will only execute once. your inputs do not belong in the same loop, they are your endpoints on each of your loops.

i think it will help you a lot if you first start without the loop. copy/paste all your lines of code until it looks perfect. then you can turn it into loops. turn one of them into a loop at a time. if it broke your output, then adjust until it's right. i think that'll help you get more comfortable with loops.

of course, dont go crazy with all 100 points. start with a 1x1 matrix. then add code to make it 2x2. then 2x5. then 3x6. etc until you get comfortable with the pattern to see how to use a loop

and why are you using a list box?

where should I output it?

i would have used a textbox, but it's your call.

I haven't used a texbox as the output for any of the projects ive done, its mostly a messagebox or listbox

edit: Just had a thought, is there any way I'd be able to make it output to a messagebox? And make it have the set columns/rows.

Edit2: Epiphany happened, lol. no need for help guys!
