| 1 | Lesson 1: Dates, String and Arrays
If you took the Visual Basic introduction course, you have worked only with simple variables. This makes it hard to program, especially if you have a lot of data. In this lesson we will learn to work with Arrays. Arrays have a lot of advantages over simple variables for working with large amounts of data, but there are limits to what Arrays can do. So will also be working with the collections classes to learn other ways of storing an manipulating data.
Although we have worked Strings before now, we will also learn about some of the String manipulation functions and how to work with Dates, Times and how to format the output of numeric data. |
