Creating a Console Application in VB

Question

Please, I would like to know how to create a console application that asks the user to input his or her first name and last name separately. The console application will display a message that varies according to the user. Then combine the two names into a single string variable named fullName, so that they 'll output a full name. Thank you.

Answer 2

Hello Fredmord,

Please, I would like to know how to create a console application that asks the user to input his or her first name and last name separately. The console application will display a message that varies according to the user. Then combine the two names into a single string variable named fullName, so that they 'll output a full name. Thank you.

We are happy to help, but you should explain that difficulties are created in the application, we also scivere the sample code, but this does not help calling out what you do and why you do, so if we have trouble explaining where glad to help :)

Best Regards.

Answer 3

1. ask user for first name

2. ask user for last name

3. combine first & last names

4. see if the name matches a pre-defined name, if so show a custom message, if not - show a generic message

You will be using Console.WriteLine to display text, Console.WriteLine to get user input

Answer 4

Console.Write("First name? ")

Dim firstname as string = Console.ReadLine

'Repeat the above steps for last name

'Combine the names

Dim fullname as string = firstname & " " & lastname

'Display the full name

Console.WriteLine("Your full name is: " & fullname)
