An array?

[factor777]

I would like to know what an array is?

Im a VB student who's teacher who just aint answering all my questions.

Well its like a table that can hold things in every cell.

for instance, MyArray(1 to 5) would be like this

__________________________
|____|____|____|____|____|

to use them, you would say something like:
MyArray(1) would get you the first cell in the array.

Loops can also do this

dim i as integer
for i = 1 to 5
    MyArray(i) 'bla bla bla
next i

ask if you need any help

Well I dont quite understand those For...Next statements.
could you please explain that?

For...Next is a type of reptition structure that runs through the values of the given variable starting at the first number specified to the second number specified. Both numbers could be a specific number or a variable with a numeric value. The code between the For and the Next is executed and then the variable value is automatically incremented by a specified value(The default is +1). NOTE:
After the For...Next loop is finished running, the value of the variable is equal to the second number plus the increment value.

Thanks to all of you guys.

I really dont quite get it without example code
could u give an example?

This will print 1 through 10 in the debugger. Press the F8
key so you are able to step into the code.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  Dim i As Integer
  For i = 1 To 10
      Debug.Print (i)
  Next i
End Sub

and wow! its somewhat clicking. but the i was supposed to go to 10 and it went to 11. what up with that?
