Hi Richard,

You answered the question below some time ago and I need a similar response, however it doesn't quite work. Once the value gets to 0.6 it then needs to go to 1 and then 1.1, 1.2 and so on. With your code the value goes from 0.6 to 1.6, 2.6, 3.6 and so on due to the Else X = X + 1.0. I'm guessing it needs an exception of some sort to keep it on a 0.1 increase but stopping at 0.6.

Thanks,
Adam

Question
Hi Richard,
I am currently making a program for my school to use for their cricket team. However I have trouble adding up the amount of Overs. How do I tell VB to count to 0.6 before adding 1?

More specifically...
When a decimal number reaches 0.6, 1 is added to the current value each time. i.e. 1.6 then +1, 2.6 then +1.

Answer
I'm assuming you're adding up by 0.1 until you get to 0.6.

In that case, you could say:


'If X < 0.6 Then
'   X = X + 0.1
'Else
'   X = X + 1.0
'End If


Easy enough?

Answer from Richard Rost:

Well, just change the code a little bit:

If X < 0.6 or X > 0.6 then
  X = X + 0.1
Else
  X = 1
End If

Basically if I understand what you're telling me, unless X is exactly 0.6 then you need to add 0.1 to it, otherwise, if it is 0.6, set it equal to 1.0.
