Hi.

I'm trying to write a program in Visual Logic using parallel arrays where:

1) you enter 5 usernames and 5 passwords into an array
2) you then get a dialog box asking for a username and password
3) if the username is not one of the 5, you get a pop-up saying "User not found"
4) if the username and password do not match, you get a pop-up saying "Username does not match Password"
5) if they DO match, you get a pop-up saying "Access Granted"

I know that I am entering the parallel arrays right.
I know that I am properly setting up the initial inputs

But how do I set up the logic statement to get the program to KNOW if the username exists and matches the password?

Can someone flowchart it for me?

Hello,

I am assuming by visual logic, you mean a logic flowsheet or pseudocode. Here is my look at the problem:

Initialize username array
Initialize password array
Enter user data into username and password array
Initalize username_input
Initialize password_input
Get username_input and password_input from user
Initialize username_array_index
Initialize password_array_index
[Check if username_input is in username array]
If NO -> output pop-up saying "User not found" and end program
If Yes -> store array index of username_input from username_array into username_array_index (should be a number from 1 to 5) and continue on with algorithm
[Check if password_input is in password array]
if No -> store "0" into password_array_index (no for sure there won't be a match)
if Yes -> store array index of password_input from password_array into password_array_index (a number from 1 to 5 again)
[Check to see if username_array_index is the same as password_array_index]
If No -> output pop-up saying "Username does not match password"
If Yes -> output pop-up saying "Access Granted"
End Program

Cheers and hope that helps out a bit with the logic.

[Check if username_input is in username array]

If NO -> output pop-up saying "User not found" and end program

If Yes -> store array index of username_input from username_array into username_array_index

(should be a number from 1 to 5) and continue on with algorithm

[Check if password_input is in password array]

this is what I am having a problem with.

HOW do i tell the program to check?

Ok, I am not familiar with the programming language Visual Logic, but I can try to explain in pseudo code and perhaps use some Java. If you could provide any links to the programming language you are using, I would be able to look up the actual syntax.

To check the username array for the username_input, you will need to loop through each item in the array and then see if it matches the username_input.

for each array item in username array:
- store the array index in an integer variable
- see if that array value matches the user input

It will be the same process for checking the password array.
