Problem Declare Variable in Vb/Dll

[DIMENSION COMPANY]

When I declare "var1(100)" as single
Can I declare "var1" as single
and "var1$" as string
then I use var1(1)=12345
can I use var1=12345
and can I use var1$="SOME STRING"
in the same procedure?

---
dim var1(100) as single
dim var1 as integr
dim var1$ as string

Is above line is acceptable in vb/dll?

From the helpfiles:
Bear in mind that cat?, cat%, cat&, cat&&, cat!, cat#, cat##,
[email protected], [email protected]@, and cat$, are ten separate variables.
Although using cat over and over again to create different variables
like this is legal, good programming practice suggests that you use
somewhat different names for different variables. It's also much better
to use descriptive and understandable names for your variables rather than
single letters. It's extremely difficult to debug a program in which [email protected]
has been entered instead of x! or x#. Imagine the confusion of trying to
distinguish x&& and x&. If you had used variable names like count!, result#,
remain##, and company$, you would have had considerably less trouble keeping
your variables (and their types) apart.

"Dimension Company"... the rules of this BBS are such that you must register with you real name (First + Last) - aliases and handles are not permitted.

To put it simple:

You can do that in PB, you can't in VB.

Knuth,

You don't need to in VB because you would just declare the variable as
type 'variant'.

I reckon that 'Dimension Company' is trying to force a variable of
type 'variant' in PB.

You can do that in VB but not in PB.

I keep saying you use the correct tool for the job. And all of this knocking
VB rubbish doesn't help PB's image at all. PB are not going into competition
with VB, they actually positively market it as a complimentary tool to increase
the usability of VB. For ******* sake stop knocking it.

regards
Trevor

Trevor,

you completly misinterpreted my answer. They asked:

dim var1(100) as single
dim var1 as integr
dim var1$ as string

Is above line is acceptable in vb/dll?

And I simply answered their question with a "No" and a "Yes".
And, yes, I activly use VB myself (It's still my primary development tool).

Don't get too paranoid, Trevor<g>...
