Working With Integers
The process of creating variable called "Declaring"
To Declare (=create) Integer variable simply
write:
Dim MyTest As Integer
What does the line above
do?
It creates an Integer variable with the name
MyTest.
Dim = Declare
MyTest = the name of the
new variable
As Integer = The new variable type will be
Integer.
Now you can put a number inside this variable.
You can
do that by simple write:
MyTest = 10
The line above will
insert the number 10 into the MyTest variable.
Now the MyTest
variable stores the Number 10, but how
can you access this value from your
program?
You can do that using the variable name. Example:
Print
MyTest
The line above will write 10 on the
form.
Pay attention to the differents between
Print
MyTest
and
Print
"MyTest"
Where you putting a text inside quotes
(Like in the bottom line),
Visual Basic treat it as a Text, and will print it
As-Is.
The Print "MyTest" Line will
print MyTest on the form.
Where you putting a text Without quotes (Like in the
upper line),
Visual Basic treat it as a variable name, and will print the
value that found
in the variable.
The Print
MyTest Line will print the value that found
in
the MyTest variable, therefore it will print 10 on the
form.
