You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.

Turn on Option Strict in your project's properties, so that you have to be exact about your variable data types.

Convert the text entered into a number, and check if this is greater than 100
