Conclusion
From this practical work, I learned that the way of declare the array such as Dim
intStdnt() As Integer it will consist () after the variable to declare it. We also can
declare the textbox using array such as Dim Mark(3) As TextBox =
{Textbox1,TextBox2,TextBox3}. The number in the bracket is show the array we
required. We also can create array using button. First we need to declare 1 st, Dim
Button() As Button then use decorate the button it properties such as font,
backcolor,forecolor and etc. and then using the For..Next loop structure to create as
much as u like. And then Array divided to 2 dimension which is single dimension and
multi dimension for example to keep in the mark of 2 different classes contain of 10
students. Dim mark(2,10) As Integer it mean 2x10 matrix 2 for row and 10 for
column.
