' Boolean condition as well as to illustrate the use of a
' Select Case statement that uses relational operators.

' in computer science for determining whether a value is even or odd.

' Notes
' The If/ElseIf statement uses a Boolean condition with the logical And operator checking to
' make sure that intUserInput is even but not zero. If it is zero then the Else case
' applies since zero is not considered to be odd or even.
' When a case within a Select Case is a specific value, that value is typed after the keyword
' Case. However, you must use the keyword Is followed by the necessary relational operator
' such as >= .
' The Select Case statement's Else case will only apply to situations that were not expected by
' the programmer.
' The Select Case statement in the program above could be replaced by the following If/Else
' statement. It is considered to be better style to use a Select Case in this situation
' because Select Case statements are usually considered to be easier to read when there
' are 3 or more cases.
' If (intUserInput = 100) Then
' frmMain.Print "Congratulations you earned an A+ !"

' frmMain.Print "Your grade would be a B."
' ElseIf (intUserInput >= 70) Then
