Adding to a list

Question

Hi guys Ive been trying different ways in which one can add to a list and save up on lines of coding at the same time. Failing miserably however :(

What i am trying to do is have a feature where the user inputs 2 values via textboxes and then the system multiplies those values and adds random values to a list.

so if the values entered were 2 and 4 then the system should produce 8 random numbers and add them to a list.

Thanks guys!

It sounds to me like you're supposed to enter integers in the textboxes as you can of course only generate an integral number of random numbers. However nothing is said about the random numbers themselves whether they're integral or decimal and within what range. The following code assumes they're integers between 0 and 999 inclusive: // declare at class level private List lst = new List (); private Random rand = new Random(); // within some method int val1 = Convert.ToInt32(txtval1.text); int val2 = Convert.ToInt32(txtval2.Text); int result = val1 * val2; if (result for(int i = 1; i

Even if the random numbers themselves are doubles the numbers in the textboxes must be integers because you can't generate (for instance) 8.62 random numbers unless you're supposed to round off the result of the multiplication to the nearer whole number.

Will have a go now. Sam im alright with the first point is fine its the other three im baffled on. Everything is double because I want my random list to between the value of -0.5 to 0.5.

Well John you have two guesses. If either one is the answer then please mark it as the answer. If none of them is the answer then please clarify what you need.

What do you need help with? getting 2 values via textboxes multiplying those values generating the number of random values adding the random values to a list

you can try this on global level declare the list List lst=new List (); in event where you want to multiply the values write double val1=Convert.ToDouble(txtval1.text); double val2=Convert.ToDouble(txtval2.Text); double result=val1*val2; lst.Add(result);
