<p class="MsoNormal">Hello there,<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think the issue is the Mod keyword in your VB code (somewhere around line 10). The pseudocode does state a "Mod()" function but I don't think it should be there (in other words I don't know what it is meant to do).<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mod gives you the remainder when the left number is divided by the one on the right,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">therefore, no matter the values of low and high, this will always give you a value of 0 or 1 (when dividing by 2), which would explain your infinite loop.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">ie: (1 + 999) Mod 2 = 1000 Mod 2<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> = 0<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-tab-span"> </span>as the remainder when 1000 is divided by 2 is 0.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Given that Mod can only give you two values, your loop will never end as StudentNo(0) = 1 and StudentNo(1) = 125, neither of which are the searchnum.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Instead of finding the modulus of low + high, just dividing it by 2 will give the middle number between low and high, and I think will fix the loop.<o:p></o:p></p>
