Example

The following example uses the Get Current Seconds method to find Megabucks numbers:

Sub Button_Click
   Dim msgtext As String
   Dim value(9) As Single
   Dim nextvalue As Integer
   Dim x As Integer
   Dim y As Integer

   msgtext = "Your Megabucks numbers are: "
   For x = 1 to 8
      Do
         value(x) = Timer
         value(x) = value(x) * 100
         value(x) = Str(value(x))
         value(x) = Val(Right(value(x),2))
      Loop Until value(x)>1 and value(x)<36
      For y = 1 to 1500
      Next y
   Next x

   For y = 1 to 8
   For x = 1 to 8
      If y <> x then
         If value(y) = value(x) then
            value(x) = value(x) + 1
         End If
      End If
    Next x
   Next y
   For x = 1 to 8
      msgtext = msgtext & value(x) & " "
      Next x
End Sub
