Beginner Projects

Build these on your own using what you learned in Level 1. Each one uses variables, conditions, loops, arrays, and procedures.

1. Number Guessing Game

Pick a random number from 1 to 100 with Random.Shared.Next(1, 101), read guesses with Console.ReadLine, answer "higher" or "lower", and count the attempts. Use Integer.TryParse so input that isn't a number doesn't crash the program.

2. Loan Payment Calculator

Ask for a loan amount, a yearly interest rate, and a number of years, then print the monthly payment and total interest as Decimal values formatted to two places. Put the formula in its own Function.

3. Grade Report

Store student names and scores in two arrays, compute each student's letter grade with Select Case, and print an aligned table plus the class average, highest, and lowest scores.

4. Multiplication Table

Print a 10 by 10 multiplication table with nested For loops, with every column right-aligned using .PadLeft.

5. Simple Menu Program

Show a text menu in a Do ... Loop (convert temperatures, check whether a year is a leap year, reverse a word, quit) and call a separate Sub or Function for each option.
