Displaying Numbers
Let n be a number or a numeric expression.
The statement lstBox.Items.Add(n)displays the value of n in the list box.
The statement lstBox.Items.Clear()removes all the items of the list box.
The same way TextBox1.Clear() or TextBox1.Text=“” will clear the content of the text box

Numeric Variable ( 数值变量 )
A numeric variable is a name respecting to a value in memory, it’s value may be changed with code at run time. Such as: speed, distance.
Declaration Statements: ( 声明语句 ) Dim variablename As DataTypedata (default value is 0)
Dim variablename As DataType = initialvalueAssignment Statements: ( 赋值语句 ) variablename = expression

Incrementing the value of a variable
• To add 1 to the numeric variable varvar = var + 1
• Or as a shortcutvar += 1
• The same wayvar -= n
var *= n
var /= n
var ^= n
var1 &= var2
![Page 11: 1 Chapter 2 – Variables, Input, and Output 2.1 Numbers 2.2 Strings 2.3 Input and Output](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649dd95503460f94aceee7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Built-in Functions
Functions return a value
Math.Sqrt(9) returns 3
Int(9.7) returns 9
Math.Round(2.7) returns 3
Tips:
Math.Round(2.748, 1) returns 2.7
Math.Round(2.748, 2) returns 2.75
Math.Round(2.75, 1) returns 2.8
Math.Round(2.85, 1) returns 2.8奇进偶不进
如果在代码窗口的通用声明区引入了 Math 函数库,那么程序中所有数学函数就都不用添加 Math 限定了!

Multiple Declarations
Several variables can be declared with a single Dim statement
Dim a, b As Double
Two other types of multiple-declaration statements
Dim a As Double, b As Integer
Dim c As Double = 2, b As Integer = 5
错误写法:Dim a, b, c As Integer = 10
a = b = c = 10
![Page 14: 1 Chapter 2 – Variables, Input, and Output 2.1 Numbers 2.2 Strings 2.3 Input and Output](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649dd95503460f94aceee7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Two Integer-Valued Operators• Integer division (denoted by \) is similar to
ordinary long division except that the remainder is discarded.
• The Mod operator returns only the integer remainder.
23 \ 7 = 3 23 Mod 7 = 2
8 \ 2 = 4 8 Mod 2 = 0
2 \ 5 = 0 2 Mod 5 = 214
![Page 15: 1 Chapter 2 – Variables, Input, and Output 2.1 Numbers 2.2 Strings 2.3 Input and Output](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649dd95503460f94aceee7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Parentheses• Parentheses are used to change the priority
levels in numeric expressions.• In the absence of parentheses, the operations
are carried out in the following order: ^, * and /, \, Mod, + and -.
5+10 mod 10 \ 9 / 3 +2 ^2 = ? Key:10
![Page 16: 1 Chapter 2 – Variables, Input, and Output 2.1 Numbers 2.2 Strings 2.3 Input and Output](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649dd95503460f94aceee7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

String Literal ( 字符常数 ) and String variables
A string literal is a sequence of characters surrounded by quotation marks. Such as "hello", "024-23986531", "Mick John"
A string variable is a name to which a string value can be assigned. Such as address, phoneno
![Page 22: 1 Chapter 2 – Variables, Input, and Output 2.1 Numbers 2.2 Strings 2.3 Input and Output](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649dd95503460f94aceee7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
String Variable (continued)• Declaration:
Dim firstName As String
22
variable name data type
• Assignment:firstName = "Fred"
You can declare a string variable and assign it a value at the same time.
Dim firstName As String = "Fred"
![Page 23: 1 Chapter 2 – Variables, Input, and Output 2.1 Numbers 2.2 Strings 2.3 Input and Output](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649dd95503460f94aceee7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Option Strict • Visual Basic allows numeric variables to be
assigned strings and vice versa, a poor programming practice.
• To prevent such assignments, set Option Strict to On in the Options dialog box, or add Option Strict On statement to the general declarations section in the code editor.
24
![Page 25: 1 Chapter 2 – Variables, Input, and Output 2.1 Numbers 2.2 Strings 2.3 Input and Output](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649dd95503460f94aceee7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Option Strict • Visual Basic allows numeric variables to be
assigned strings and vice versa, a poor programming practice.
• To prevent such assignments, set Option Strict to On in the Options dialog box, or add Option Strict On statement to the general declarations section in the code editor.

Rename a variable• If you want to rename a variable, you shouldn’t
change the names one by one.• You should select the variable in code window, right
click it and select Rename.

![Page 27: 1 Chapter 2 – Variables, Input, and Output 2.1 Numbers 2.2 Strings 2.3 Input and Output](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649dd95503460f94aceee7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Using Text Boxes for Input and Output
• The contents of a text box is always a string.
• Input example: strVar = txtBox.Text
• Output example: txtBox.Text = strVar
27
![Page 28: 1 Chapter 2 – Variables, Input, and Output 2.1 Numbers 2.2 Strings 2.3 Input and Output](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649dd95503460f94aceee7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Data Conversion
Because the contents of a text box is always a string, sometimes you must convert the input or output if Option Strict is set to On.
dblVar = CDbl(txtBox.Text)
txtBox.Text = CStr(numVar)
28
converts a String to a Double
converts a number to a string
![Page 29: 1 Chapter 2 – Variables, Input, and Output 2.1 Numbers 2.2 Strings 2.3 Input and Output](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649dd95503460f94aceee7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Auto CorrectionThe Auto Correction feature of IntelliSense
suggests corrections when errors occur and allows you to select a correction to be applied to the code.
![Page 30: 1 Chapter 2 – Variables, Input, and Output 2.1 Numbers 2.2 Strings 2.3 Input and Output](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649dd95503460f94aceee7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Concatenation
Combining two strings to make a new string
quote1 = "We'll always "quote2 = "have Paris."quote = quote1 & quote2txtOutput.Text = quote & " - Humphrey Bogart"
Output:We'll always have Paris. - Humphrey Bogart

Positions in a String Positions of characters in a string are numbered 0, 1,
2, ….
Consider the string “Visual Basic”.
Position 0: V
Position 1: i
Position 7: B
Substring “al” begins at position 4

IndexOf Method Let str1 and str2 be strings.
str1.IndexOf(str2)
is the position of the first occurrence of str2 in str1.
(Note: Has value -1 if str2 is not a substring of str1.)
"Visual Basic".IndexOf("is") is 1.
"Visual Basic".IndexOf("si") is 9.
"Visual Basic".IndexOf("ab") is -1.

![Page 35: 1 Chapter 2 – Variables, Input, and Output 2.1 Numbers 2.2 Strings 2.3 Input and Output](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649dd95503460f94aceee7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The Empty String • The string "", which has no characters, is
called the empty string or the zero-length string.
• The statement lstBox.Items.Add("") skips a line in the list box.
• The contents of a text box can be cleared with either the statement
txtBox.Clear()
or the statement txtBox.Text = ""
35
![Page 36: 1 Chapter 2 – Variables, Input, and Output 2.1 Numbers 2.2 Strings 2.3 Input and Output](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649dd95503460f94aceee7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Initial Value of a String Variable
• By default the initial value is the keyword Nothing
• You must assign a value to a string variable even just an empty sting before using it
• Strings can be given a different initial value as follows:
Dim name As String = "Fred"
36
![Page 37: 1 Chapter 2 – Variables, Input, and Output 2.1 Numbers 2.2 Strings 2.3 Input and Output](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649dd95503460f94aceee7/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Widening and Narrowing• Widening: assigning an Integer value to
a Double variable. No conversion function needed.
• Narrowing: assigning a Double value to an Integer variable. Narrowing requires the Cint function

Dates as Input and Output• : #7/4/1776#
• Declarons:
Dim indDay As Date
Dim d As Date = CDate(txtBox.Text)
Dim indDay As Date = #7/4/1776#
52
Date literals must be surrounded by number signs
提示: 如果在文本框中输入日期,用 CDate 函数转换后为日期型变量赋值,那么输入2014 年 1 月 20 日、 2014-1-20 、 1-20-2014 、 2014/1/20 、 1/20/2014 都行。但是不能以“日 - 月 - 年”的格式输入 ( 例如 20-1-2014) ,除非你把系统设为英国格式! 如果采用日期常数直接为变量赋值。那么只能以 #1-20-2014# 或 #1/20/2014# 的格式输入 ( 系统会自动把 #1-20-2014# 转换为 #1/20/2014#)
