    1. The document discusses variables in Visual Basic, which are storage areas in memory that programs can manipulate. Variables have specific types like integer or string that determine their size and allowed operations. 2. Integer variables store number values while string variables store text values using double quotation marks. Variables are declared using Dim and specifying the type. 3. Examples demonstrate declaring integer and string variables, assigning values to them, and displaying a concatenated string variable. The document provides an introduction to working with variables in Visual Basic.

    I. Introduction

    You often have to store values when you perform calculations with Visual Basic.
    For example, you might want to calculate several values, compare them, and
    perform different operations on them, depending on the result of the comparison.

    You have to retain the values if you want to compare them. Visual Basic, just like
    most programming languages, uses variables for storing values.

    II. Objectives
    At the end of the lesson, you should be able to;
    1. define variables in Visual Basic 2010;
    2. differentiate integer and string variables; and
    3. cite example of the utilized variables in Visual Basic 2010.

    III. Pretest
    Answer the following questions;
    1. What is a variable?
    2. What is the difference between integer and string variable?
    3. How do we utilized variables in Visual Basic 2020?

    IV. Discussion / Course Content

    LESSON 19: WORKING WITH VARIABLES

    With Visual Basic and most programming languages, a variable is a storage area
    of the computer’s memory which programs can manipulate.

    Each variable in the Visual Basic has specific type. Each type determines the size
    and layout of the variable’s memory; the range of variables to be stored within the
    memory and the set of operations that can be applied in the variable.

    Dim number1 As integer


    Dim number2 As Integer

    Number1= 3
    Number2= 5

    Dim - short for dimension. This type of variable is a declaration or you are telling VB
    that you are setting up a variable.

    Number1 - sample name of variable.

    As Integer - this tells VB that variable is going to be a number or an integer.

    Example:

    Understanding String Variables

    Aside from integer variables or numbers, variables can be names or texts. These
    are called string variables. To set up a variable to hold a text, there’s a need to use As
    String and not As integer.

    Dim FirstName As String


    Dim LastName As String

    FirstName = “Maria”
    LastName = “Prado”

    VB needs the two double quotation marks before it can identify the text or string.

    Example:

    Dim FirstName As String


    Dim LastName As String
    Dim Name As String

    FirstName = txtFirst.Text
    LastName = txtLast.Text

    Name = FirstName & " " & LastName

    MessageBox.Show(Name)
