from random import randint
def initialiseBoard():
    print('Following is the board and the respective positions.\nEnter the row and column separated by a space to play.')
    board = [['' for x in range(3)] for y in range(3)]
    for i in range(3):
        for j in range(3):
            print('[{0},{1}] '.format(i + 1, j + 1), end='')
        print()
    return board
def inputBoard(board, turn, play):
    print()
    if play == 'player':
        if turn % 2 == 0:
            print('Player X What move do you want to make? Answer as row (vertical) column (horizontal) or save game or load game ')
        else:
            print("Player O What move do you want to make? Answer as row (vertical) column (horizontal) or save game or load game ")
        x, y = map(int, input().split(' '))
        if x > 3 or y > 3 or x < 1 or y < 1:
            print("Enter valid position")
            return True

A teacher wants the program to:
show a visual representation of a multiplication
ask the child to key in an answer

E.G
3 x 4

What is the answer?

This is as far as I can go

Please help. I can't go horizontal. I only go vertical

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        Dim a, b As Integer
        Dim star As String = "*"

        Dim rand As New Random
        a = rand.Next(1, 10)
        b = rand.Next(1, 10)

        Console.WriteLine(a & " X " & b)
        Dim sum As Double = a * b

        Dim i, x As Integer

        If a > b Then
            i = b
        Else
            i = a
        End If
        For x = 1 To i
            Console.Write(star)
            Console.WriteLine(star)
        Next
        Console.WriteLine()
        Console.WriteLine(sum)
        Console.ReadKey()
    End Sub

End Module

I found this great article on User Interfaces that I wanted to share. Two points I wanted to add

1. Just because it's old doesn't mean it's bad.
2. Just because it's new doesn't mean it's better.

And can we please all decide that light grey text on a white background is just retarded?
