The rent rate for an apartment depends on which floor the apartment is located on and every apartment on the same floor has the same rent rate. The program shall read the name of the apartment building, how many floors the apartment building has, and get the rental rates for each of the floors. Once the rental rates are provided, the program shall list the rates. The program user shall be able to provide a floor number and the program will display the apartment building name, the total num.

E. Lab Steps:
Preparation:
If you are using the Citrix remote lab, follow the login
instructions located in the iLab tab in Course Home.
Lab:
Step 1: Create a New Project

3. Create a Visual Basic Console Project in Visual Studio. Name
the Project CIS170A_Lab06.
Write the program that will use arrays to store rent by floor and
display the rent for the selected floor using the Processing
Logic provided in Step 2.
Step 2: Program Description
In this project, you will create a program, using an array, which
keeps a list of the rent rates for an apartment building. The rent
rate for an apartment depends on which floor the apartment is
located on and every apartment on the same floor has the same
rent rate. The program shall read the name of the apartment
building, how many floors the apartment building has, and get
the rental rates for each of the floors. Once the rental rates are
provided, the program shall list the rates. The program user
shall be able to provide a floor number and the program will
display the apartment building name, the total number of floors,
the requested floor, and how much the rent is for the given
floor.
The customer has several apartment buildings to choose from.
The smallest apartment building has three floors and the largest
apartment building has 20 floors. The program shall validate
that the floor number is between the minimum and maximum
floor values. Also, the minimum rental rate for any building is
$1,000 per month, while the highest rent is $2,500. The program
shall validate that the provided rental rates are within the
minimum and maximum rates.
Design Requirements:
In Week 7, we will expand on this program and in order to
easily modify it, your program will incorporate the following
design features:

4. 1. The design will be modular and the event handlers shall not
contain any processing logic, but only invoke reusable modules.
2. All minimum and maximum values shall be declared as
constants.
3. The user shall not be able to input the floor he or she wants
to search for until after the apartment building name, the
number of floors in the building, and the rent values for each of
the floors in the building have been entered and validated.
4. Declare rentlist, numFloors, and requestedFloor as form level
variables. All other variables should be declared locally as
required.
The following shows the Program Hierarchy:
The following shows the flowchart of the program.
Step 3: Build The Form
The following is the Object, Property, Setting, Event chart for

5. the form controls, and each input field will have a label/input
field pair. Also, group the related information in the associated
group box.
The form and form controls will be logically placed on the
form, the controls aligned and sized, and a logical tab order will
be assigned to each of the form controls.

7. Step 4: Implement the Event Handlers
Use the following as the design for your event handlers,
referring to the flowchart for rules on input validation and
processing. The final calculation SHOULD NOT be completed
until all the input fields are validated.

module)
Step 5: Executing the Program
To execute your code, click Start and then start debugging.
Check your output to ensure that you have space(s) where
appropriate. If you need to fix anything, close your execution
window and modify your code as necessary and rebuild.
Step 6: Deliverables
1. Capture a screen print of your output [Do a PRINT SCREEN
and paste into an MS Word document].
2. Copy your code and paste it into the same MS Word
document that contains the screen print of your output.
3. Save the Word document as
CIS170A_Lab06_LastName_FirstInitial
4. Zip up the Word document along with the complete set of
project files into a single document.
5. Place deliverables in the Dropbox.
