variable

A named storage location that can contain data that can be modified during program execution. Each
variable has a name that uniquely identifies it within its scope. A data type can be specified or not.

Dim abc as integer = 0 'abc is a variable


abc = abc + 1

Dim StringUser as String = "Lawrence"

DATA TYPES

String data type

A data type consisting of a sequence of contiguous characters that represent the characters themselves
rather than their numeric values. A String can include letters, numbers, spaces, and punctuation.
Dim StringFilename as String = "filename.csv"

Integer data type

A data type that pertains to numbers as whole, no decimal places.

You can also use Integer variables to represent enumerated values. An enumerated value can contain a
finite set of unique whole numbers, each of which has special meaning in the context in which it is used.
Dim a as integer = 0 'a as integer

a = Math.Sqrt(c2 - 49)

Single Data Type

Double Data Type
