Need Help Creating A Math Tutor Program

I'm very new to visualbasic and need to create a program that acts as a math tutor.

In addition to the requirements specified in the text, also create the program to randomly create either an addition, multiplication, or a subtraction problem for each question. The range of numbers should be 0 to 100.

A few questions... Since there's no real input from the user, I could just make them all the boxes labels correct? Also, I have no idea how to code it so it will pick the numbers at random from 0-100. Lastly, I have no clue as to how I'm supposed to make it pick the multiplication/addition/subtraction at random as well. Help is greatly appreciated, and sorry, my computer intelligence isn't the highest :X

We need to know what version of Visual Basic you're using before we can help you with your random numbers thing, as it's implemented differently in Visual Basic 1-6 and Visual Basic .NET/Visual Basic 2003-2008.

Sounds like someone has homework from school that he hasn't done. :D

If you don't need any inputs, labels would indeed suffice. Algorithmically, you could do the following:

var random1 = random number from 0 to 100

var random2 = random number from 0 to 100

var operation = random number from 0 to 2

switch(operation) {

        case 0:

        set operation label to '+'

        display random1 + random2

        break;

        case 1:

        set operation label to '-'

        display random1 - random2

        break;

        case 2:

        set operation label to '*'

        display random1 * random2

        break;

}

I don't exactly remember VB all too well so just look up random number in the VB help files.
