Program Plan Intro
String comparison in Visual Basic:
- The relational operators are used to compare strings. The result of relational operations is always a Boolean value.
- The relational operators and their meanings are given below,
| Symbol | Meaning |
| < | Less than |
| <= | Less than or equal to |
| > | Greater than |
| >= | Greater than or equal to |
| == | Equal to |
| <> | Not equal to |
| Is | Compare references. |
- While comparing two strings, the corresponding letters are compared. And the result will be true if all the comparisons are true.
Explanation of Solution
2. “AAA”> “AA”
The Unicode of every letters are given below,
- The decimal value of “A” is 65. So when comparing “A” and “A”, “A” is equal to “A”...
Explanation of Solution
3. “ABC123”< “abc123”
The Unicode of every letters are given below,
- The decimal value of “A” is 65 and of “a” is 97. So when comparing “A” and “a”, “A” is smaller than “a”.
- The decimal value of “B” is 66 and of “b” is 98...

Specifications
The formula for finding the greatest common divisor of two positive integers x and y must follow the Euclidean algorithm as follows:
Subtract x from y repeatedly until y < x.
Swap the values of x and y.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 until x = 0.
y is the greatest common divisor of the two numbers.
You can use one loop for step 1 of the algorithm nested within a second loop for step 3.
Assume that the user will enter valid integers for both numbers.
The application should continue only if the user enters 'y' or 'Y' to continue. Note that if you do…
This application manages a parking space for a configurable maximum number of vehicles. The designed application must handle the following functions: ● Each garage slot has a width and depth that describes the slot dimensions.● The garage consists of a configurable maximum number of slots with different dimensions. ● Each vehicle shall be identified by a model name, unique identification number, Model year and vehicle dimensions (width and length).● Park-in function that marks the arrival time of a vehicle if there is an available slot that matches vehicle dimensions.● The slot selection for vehicle park-in could be done using multiple algorithms:○ First Fit selection where the first slot with big enough dimension to host the vehicle will be selected○ Best Fit selection where the slot with the best dimension match should be used where the wasting area of the slot is minimized. ● Slot selection algorithms could be extended in the future version of the application.● Park-out function…
