    Visual Basic

    Statements and
    Expressions
     The simplest statement is the assignment statement. It consists of a
    variable name, followed by the assignment operator (=), followed by
    some sort of expression
     Examples:
    StartTime = Now
    Explorer.Caption = "Captain Spaulding"
    BitCount = ByteCount * 8
    Energy = Mass * LIGHTSPEED ^ 2
    NetWorth = Assets – Liabilities
    The assignment statement stores information.
     Statements normally take up a single line with no terminator.
    Statements can be stacked by using a colon (:) to separate them.
    Example:
    StartTime = Now : EndTime = StartTime + 10

     (Be careful stacking statements, especially with If/End If structures.


    You may not get the response you desire.)
     If a statement is very long, it may be continued to the next line using
    the continuation character, an underscore ( _). Example:
    Months = Log(Final * IntRate / Deposit + 1) _
    / Log(1 + IntRate)
     Comment statements begin with the keyword Rem or a single quote
    ('). For example:
    Rem This is a remark
    ' This is also a remark
    x = 2 * y ' another way to write a remark or comment
     You, as a programmer, should decide how much to comment your
    code. Consider such factors as reuse, your audience, and the legacy
    of your code
    Visual Basic Operators
     The simplest operators carry out arithmetic operations. These
    operators in their order of precedence are:
     Parentheses around expressions can change precedence.
     To concatenate two strings, use the & symbol or the + symbol:
    lblTime.Caption = "The current time is" & Format(Now, “hh:mm”)
    txtSample.Text = "Hook this “ + “to this”
     Operator Operation
    ^ Exponentiation
    */ Multiplication and division
    \ Integer division (truncates)
    Mod Modulus
    +- Addition and subtraction
     There are six comparison operators in Visual Basic:
     Operator Comparison
    > Greater than
    < Less than
    >= Greater than or equal to
    <= Less than or equal to
    = Equal to
    <> Not equal to
     The result of a comparison operation is a Boolean value (True or
    False).
     We will use three logical operators
     Operator Operation
    Not Logical not
    And Logical and
    Or Logical or

     The Not operator simply negates an operand.


     The And operator returns a True if both operands are True.
    Else, it returns a False.
     The Or operator returns a True if either of its operands is True,
    else it returns a False.
     Logical operators follow arithmetic operators in precedence.
    Visual Basic Functions
     Visual Basic offers a rich assortment of built-in functions. The on-line
    help utility will give you information on any or all of these functions
    and their use. Some examples are:
     Function Value Returned
    Abs Absolute value of a number
    Asc ASCII or ANSI code of a character
    Chr Character corresponding to a given ASCII or ANSI code
    Cos Cosine of an angle
    Date Current date as a text string
    Format Date or number converted to a text string
    Left Selected left side of a text string
    Len Number of characters in a text string
    Mid Selected portion of a text string
    Now Current time and date
    Right Selected right end of a text string
    Rnd Random number
    Sin Sine of an angle
    Sqr Square root of a number
    Str Number converted to a text string
    Time Current time as a text string
    Timer Number of seconds elapsed since midnight
    Val Numeric value of a given text string
    Visual Basic Symbolic Constants
     Many times in Visual Basic, functions and objects require data
    arguments that affect their operation and return values you want to
    read and interpret
     These arguments and values are constant numerical data and difficult
    to interpret based on just the numerical value
     To make these constants more understandable, Visual Basic assigns
    names to the most widely used values - these are called symbolic
    constants.
     As an example, to set the background color of a form named
    frmExample to blue, we could type:
     frmExample.BackColor = 0xFF0000
     or, we could use the symbolic constant for the blue color (vbBlue):
     frmExample.BackColor = vbBlue
     Defining Your Own Constants
     You can also define your own constants for use in Visual Basic. The format
    for defining a constant named PI with a value 3.14159 is:
    Const PI = 3.14159
    Visual Basic Branching - If
    Statements
     Branching statements are used to cause certain actions within a
    program if a certain condition is met.
     You can also have If/Then/End If blocks to allow multiple
    statements:
    If Balance - Check < 0 Then
    Print "You are overdrawn"
    Print "Authorities have been notified"
    End If
     In this case, if Balance - Check is less than zero, two lines of information
    are printed
     Or, If/Then/Else/End If blocks:
    If Balance - Check < 0 Then
    Print "You are overdrawn"
    Print "Authorities have been notified"
    Else
    Balance = Balance - Check
    End If
     Here, the same two lines are printed if you are overdrawn (Balance - Check
    < 0),but, if you are not overdrawn (Else), your new Balance is
    computed.
     Or, we can add the ElseIf statement:
    If Balance - Check < 0 Then
    Print "You are overdrawn"
    Print "Authorities have been notified"
    ElseIf Balance - Check = 0 Then
    Print "Whew! You barely made it"
    Balance = 0
    Else
    Balance = Balance - Check
    End If
     Now, one more condition is added. If your Balance equals the Check
    amount (ElseIf Balance - Check = 0), a different message appears.
    Select Case - Another Way to
    Branch
     In addition to If/Then/Else type statements, the Select Case format can be
    used when there are multiple selection possibilities.
     Say we've written this code using the If statement:
    If Age = 5 Then
    Category = "Five Year Old"
    ElseIf Age >= 13 and Age <= 19 Then
    Category = "Teenager"
    ElseIf (Age >= 20 and Age <= 35) Or Age = 50 Or (Age >= 60 and Age <= 65)
    Then
    Category = "Special Adult"
    ElseIf Age > 65 Then
    Category = "Senior Citizen"
    Else
    Category = "Everyone Else"
    End If
     The corresponding code with Select Case would be:
    Select Case Age
    Case 5
    Category = "Five Year Old"
    Case 13 To 19
    Category = "Teenager"
    Case 20 To 35, 50, 60 To 65
    Category = "Special Adult"
    Case Is > 65
    Category = "Senior Citizen"
    Case Else
    Category = "Everyone Else"
    End Select

     Visual Basic Counting
