Storing more than one value
An array is a collection of variables of the same data type. In VB, you can create arrays to store multiple values of the same data type in a single variable. Here’s how to declare an array in VB:
Dim myArray(4) As Integer
In this example, an array called myArray
is declared to hold five integer values (0 to 4).
You can also assign values to an array at the time of declaration:
Dim myArray(2) As String myArray = {"red", "green", "blue"}
In this example, an array called myArray
is declared to hold three string values. The values are assigned to the collection at the time of declaration.
To access the values in an array, you use an index number that specifies the position of the value within the array. The first element of the array has an index of 0
. Here’s an example:
Dim myArray(2) As String myArray = {"red", "green", "blue"} Console.WriteLine(myArray(0)) Console...
