my problems goes like this:

1. Input the value of T:3
Input the value of S: 6

Then when i click the compute button the formula will compute like this

T^S - [T(T-1)^S] + [T(T-2)^S] = A(answer)

for example if i input T=3 and S=6 the computation will goes like this...

3^6 - [3 (2)^6 ] + [3 (1)^6] =
729 - 192 + 3 = 540

^ = raised to the power

problem: a.) how can i decrement the value of T depending on the values i input
b.) how can i make an alternate conditional statement of the - and + operation.. because the formula will be
using an alternate operation - + - + and so on...

visual basic please thnx

hope someone can help me thank u very much

I don't understand your first question, but your second can be solved like this:

where i is a looping variable, which you can use in calculating var1. c1 and c2 are constants and var1 is a variable.

Hope this helped.

um, PM me and tomorrow I can help you more. I saw this as I was getting ready for bed and I can give you the VB you need.

first: I assume your using the dev environment right? so your making this into a form?
