  9. Variables • A variable is a string used to identify a memory location. • The amount of memory is determined by the type of data that it will store. • Typically, variable names need to be declared so the operating system can allocate sufficient space. • Then values of the specified type can be assigned, i.e. stored in that location.

  10. Variable Names in VB • Must begin with a letter • Can include letters and numerals • Cannot include spaces • Use names that are descriptive • Capitalising convention • InterestRate, InitialCapital

  11. Variables • Local • Declared within a subprogram • Dim varName As dataType • Global • Declared at the top of the code listing • Private varName As dataType

  12. Data Types

  13. The ASCII Character Set

  14. Data Storage (Short type) 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 128 +64 +32 +16 +8 +4 + 2 + 1 =255

  15. Data Storage (2nd byte) 215 214 213 212 211 210 29 28 32768 16384 8192 4096 2048 1024 512 256 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 32768+16384 +8192 +4096 +2048 +1024 +512 +256 =65280 +255 65535 The largest Unsigned value that can be stored in 16 bits. How many patterns are there?

  16. Integer Storage • To store integers, half the combinations are used to represent negative values. • The range for Integer type variables is: -32,768 to +32767 • The MSB is used to represent the sign. • Which value of the sign bit (0 or 1) will represent a negative number?

  17. Integer Storage (4 bytes) • High order bit (MSB) is worth 231 • The number of different combinations • 232 • 4,294,967,296 • Half are used for negative values, so the range is • 2,147,483,648 to + 2,147,483,647

  18. Long Integers • In 8 bytes there are 64 bits! • High order bit (MSB) is worth 263. • The number of different combinations • 264 • 18,446,744,073,709,650,616

  19. Data Type Conversion
