Function procedure

On this one , I want to do 2 things
1) write a function procedure that receives the value stored in an integer variable named intNumber. The procedure, named DivideNumber, should divide the integer by 2, and then return the result (which may contain a decimal place)
2)write an appropriate statement to call the Dividenumber function created above.

Any help would be greatly appreciated... thx.

Here you have one solution:

Private Function DivideNumber(ByVal Number As Integer) As Double
Dim result As Double

result = (Number / 2)

Return result
End Function

to call the functio you must do the following:

Dim number As Double
Dim intNumber As Integer

intNumber = 2
number = DivideNumber(intNumber)

That's it.

This sounds like homework and experts answering those questions can get suspended.. you better give it a try at least, as it wont be too difficult for you.... have some problem ask us...

its not homework.... these are just practice for us. What I am trying to get, is an example simple just like this, and then try to remember it and see how they do it.
In other words, its optional for me to practice... practice gets you better.

but, dont we have to add a button?

Hi skathari,

You didn't ask for a GUI on top of the function. You simply asked for a function to do X. The button code is not part of the function.

At any rate, it sounds like you need to see some complete working code...
