    Classic VB - What Are #, $, etc.?

    The symbols are "shortcuts" for several of the Visual Basic data types. # is the shortcut for Double, so

    VB Code:
    1. Dim MyVar#
    is the same as
    VB Code:
    1. Dim MyVar As Double

    Similarly:
    ! = Single
    & = Long
    @ =Currency
    % = Integer
    $ = String

    Note: Using the shortcuts is not recommended since they take away from the readability and self-documenting features of Visual Basic.
