VB.NET Tutorial 3 - Variables (Visual Basic 2008/2010)

This tutorial will help you understand what a Variable is, how to create a variable and how they could be used. I have explained it in depth for the new programmers that have never used a variable before. Variables are one of the most important parts of programming that you will ever learn, so remember the syntax!

i think Dim means Dimension......!

[TeachMeComputer]

@Akiii001 Dim means Declare In Memory, or that is how I was taught it.

@PANOSPATISIA Ironically I was born and live in England. So I'll speak my language however I please.

@MCneun Yes, you're right, but that is just in general. Exist near 15 kind of varibles, i am not sure about the real number, but is almost 15. Anyway the diferences, sometimes, are not so big

[RoundishCrab4]

Hey thanks for making these great videos. I have a question on variables, if i wanted to for example imput a word, and the program would search my word as a definiton on some sort of dictionary website, how would i do that?

@TeachMeComputer Your accent is awesome. A sight better than the weezy American kids' who post (I'm American, don't call me racist/accentist).

[Killerblackpanther]

@MCneun Kind of, but Integer means a integer value like 1 or 3

Dim age As Integer = 35

[Ewoutdirkx]

@MCneun yes

[Ewoutdirkx]

Maybe to make it easy, u can always do something before the name u "dim", like by string u do the s and then uppercase ur name, by integer u use i , arrays , arrs ,....

Like: Dim sMessagecontent As String = "Variables are cool"

2nd : Dim iMynumber as Integer = 10

[badcompany2k11]

Hye ..Is there a way to display two message boxes one with String output like "variables are cool "and the number 10 in another box ?
