explaination needed!
i had seen some of the functions have '$' mark before the parentheses and some don with the same functions such as chr$() or chr() and ucase$() or ucase().
izit the returned value will converted to string ?
went will we use either of it ?
thank !
They work the same. The one without the dollar sign is waaaaay cuter. :rolleyes:
Someone here told it's a bit faster 'cause VB doesn't have to find out what type to pass, so if you pass the $ with it ($ means (As) String), VB knows it's a string and doesn't have to convert it.
Doing
Dim Str$
is the same as
Dim Str As String
% = integer
& = long
there are more but I keep forgetting these.
@ = currency?
# = single or double?
Kedaman knows them all.
$: String
%: Integer
&: Long
!: Single
#: Double
@: Currency

Jop, izint the chr() should convert from ascii code to character format . the chr$() is telling vb that ascii code is string , is that what u mean ?
These can be used creatively.
i.e.
...go to the pub. OK, I can't be & because i'm no longer ! and the wife keeps me on a very short $. If you are buying, mine's a #, I haven't got any @.
If anyone can fit % in, they are better than me:D

Our local zoo has a tiger, affectionatley known as 'teger'.
I took my baby sister to the zoo to see it. While my back was turned, the tiger ate my sister! Everybody saw it but me. I shouted "Where's my sister?"
Everybody pointed and said...
"Over there, %"
(poor, i know;-)

No: As I said, Chr() and Chr$() are exactly the same, except Chr() looks better when someone sees your code. :rolleyes:Quote:

("Ewwww, what's this ugly dollar sign doing here?")
how can you say that Yonayan! I love the dollar sign, well some ppl don't like money i know but well i'm not talking about that now, !#$@& looks much nicer than as **** or C**()
