prim's algorithm

[altayeb]

i want to write program for prim's algorithms in VB6 but i can't becouse i am new in VB6
and they want me to do it in one week
so help me if you can
please

[Zachm]

Not very likely you would get any help this way...
Read this.

thank you
i didnot know

[altayeb]

but sir Zachm i want to tell some thing
i didn't study this subject and i dont know what is an algorithms
it just my supervisor tell me to do some thing new and i reject his idea in the biging but he tell me that i have to do it in VB6. it is easy.
then i try to under stand it until i get it in c++(i have the code for it) but i cant do it in Vb6 because i am studying the principle of it now
so help me if you can please by do it in VB6 or convert the code of c++ and this is the code in c++ :
(sory for my bad english)

int n; //no of nodes
int graph_edge[250][4]; //edges in the graph
int g; //no of edges in the graph

int t; //no of edges in the tree
int s; //source node

int T1[50],t1; // Set 1

I don't think you got the point.
The whole point of homework is that you will learn something new by thinking, experiencing and studying yourself. If someone here did it for you, then you would miss the point of homework and of these forums.

If your supervisor makes demands that you think are unreasonable, this is no one's fault but your supervisor's, or yourself, if the demands turn out to be reasonable, so please don't throw the mercy card at us (plus, it looks bad for you).

People here will be totally willing to help you with your homework, once you at least show some effort, post some code you are having difficulty with, etc.

I am not trying to attack you, or scare you away, just point out that no one here is likely to do the whole work for you, even if they can, for the specified reasons.

This forum is for algorithms, so once you make some effort, or at least ask specific questions, you should probably post in the VB forum.
