Data Types in Visual Basic 6

This document discusses data types in Visual Basic 6. It lists the main data types as numeric, string, date, boolean, and variant. Numeric types store integer or floating point values of different ranges. String stores alphanumeric values of variable length. Date stores both date and time values between 01/01/0100 to 12/31/9999. Boolean stores true or false values. Variant is the default type and can store any data type. It also briefly discusses arithmetic, relational, and logical operators.

Data types in Visual Basic 6

By default Visual Basic variables are of variant data types. The variant data type can store numeric,
date/time or string data. When a variable is declared, a data type is supplied for it that determines the kind
of data they can store.

1. Numeric

Byte Store integer values in the range of 0 - 255

Integer Store integer values in the range of (-32,768) - (+ 32,767)

Long Store integer values in the range of (- 2,147,483,468) - (+ 2,147,483,468)

Single Store floating point value in the range of (-3.4x10-38) - (+ 3.4x1038)

Double Store large floating value which exceeding the single data type value

store monetary values. It supports 4 digits to the right of decimal point and 15
Currency
digits to the left

2. String

Use to store alphanumeric values. A variable length string can store approximately 4 billion characters

3. Date

Use to store date and time values. A variable declared as date type can store both date and time values and
it can store date values 01/01/0100 up to 12/31/9999

4. Boolean

Boolean data types hold either a true or false value. These are not stored as numeric values and cannot be
used as such. Values are internally stored as -1 (True) and 0 (False) and any non-zero value is considered
as true.

5. Variant

Stores any type of data and is the default Visual Basic data type. In Visual Basic if we declare a variable
without any data type by default the data type is assigned as default.
