  • Data Types and Variables
    Color profile: Generic CMYK printer profile Composite Default screen Complete Reference / Visual Basic 2005: The Complete Reference / Petrusha / 226033-5 / Chapter 2 2 Data Types and Variables his chapter will begin by examining the intrinsic data types supported by Visual Basic and relating them to their corresponding types available in the .NET Framework’s Common TType System. It will then examine the ways in which variables are declared in Visual Basic and discuss variable scope, visibility, and lifetime. The chapter will conclude with a discussion of boxing and unboxing (that is, of converting between value types and reference types). Visual Basic Data Types At the center of any development or runtime environment, including Visual Basic and the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR), is a type system. An individual type consists of the following two items: • A set of values. • A set of rules to convert every value not in the type into a value in the type. (For these rules, see Appendix F.) Of course, every value of another type cannot always be converted to a value of the type; one of the more common rules in this case is to throw an InvalidCastException, indicating that conversion is not possible. Scalar or primitive types are types that contain a single value. Visual Basic 2005 supports two basic kinds of scalar or primitive data types: structured data types and reference data types. All data types are inherited from either of two basic types in the .NET Framework Class Library. Reference types are derived from System.Object. Structured data types are derived from the System.ValueType class, which in turn is derived from the System.Object class.

  • Using Data in Programs T
    Using Data in Programs HUS FAR IN THE VISUAL BASIC PROJECTS, we have used objects, Tmodified the properties and exercised some methods. We have used events to provide action in the projects. However, we have not used data except for text strings, and have not made any mathematical calcu- lations. That is about to change. We are now going to enter numeric data in the project, and perform some calculations. This will give us much more capability to do something useful than we have done so far. Variables and Constants Broadly speaking, data can be divided into two basic categories: (1) data that is changeable (or will likely change), and (2) data that will not change. In computer-eze, data that either can change or will likely change is called a variable, while data that does not change is called a constant. Most of the data you will deal with will be variables, but constants are also around us. Visual Basic treats them the same in some respects but has important differences. 65 Constants are values that have been given a specific definition, and nothing you can do will change it. For example, there are 7 days in a week, 24 hours in a day, 60 seconds in a minute, 12 months in a year, 12 inches in a foot, 5,280 feet in a mile, and so forth. Nobody can change them, and they are “constant” in their definition. A variable is data that will or could change. Examples are the number of work hours in a work week, rate of pay, scores on exams, price of a movie ticket, number of people attending an event, and so forth.

  • Fundamental Programming Concepts
    APPENDIX A Fundamental Programming Concepts The following information is for readers who are new to programming and need a primer on some fundamental programming concepts. If you have programmed in another language, chances are the concepts presented in this appendix are not new to you. You should, however, review the material briefly to become familiar with the C# syntax. Working with Variables and Data Types Variables in programming languages store values that can change while the program executes. For example, if you wanted to count the number of times a user tries to log in to an application, you could use a variable to track the number of attempts. A variable is a memory location where a value is stored. Using the variable, your program can read or alter the value stored in memory. Before you use a variable in your program, however, you must declare it. When you declare a variable, the compiler also needs to know what kind of data will be stored at the memory location. For example, will it be numbers or letters? If the variable will store numbers, how large can a number be? Will the variable store decimals or only whole numbers? You answer these questions by assigning a data type to the variable. A login counter, for example, only needs to hold positive whole numbers. The following code demonstrates how you declare a variable named counter in C# with an integer data type: int counter; Specifying the data type is referred to as strong typing. Strong typing results in more efficient memory management, faster execution, and compiler type checking, all of which reduces runtime errors.

  • Floating Point
    Contents Articles Floating point 1 Positional notation 22 References Article Sources and Contributors 32 Image Sources, Licenses and Contributors 33 Article Licenses License 34 Floating point 1 Floating point In computing, floating point describes a method of representing an approximation of a real number in a way that can support a wide range of values. The numbers are, in general, represented approximately to a fixed number of significant digits (the significand) and scaled using an exponent. The base for the scaling is normally 2, 10 or 16. The typical number that can be represented exactly is of the form: Significant digits × baseexponent The idea of floating-point representation over intrinsically integer fixed-point numbers, which consist purely of significand, is that An early electromechanical programmable computer, expanding it with the exponent component achieves greater range. the Z3, included floating-point arithmetic (replica on display at Deutsches Museum in Munich). For instance, to represent large values, e.g. distances between galaxies, there is no need to keep all 39 decimal places down to femtometre-resolution (employed in particle physics). Assuming that the best resolution is in light years, only the 9 most significant decimal digits matter, whereas the remaining 30 digits carry pure noise, and thus can be safely dropped. This represents a savings of 100 bits of computer data storage. Instead of these 100 bits, much fewer are used to represent the scale (the exponent), e.g. 8 bits or 2 A diagram showing a representation of a decimal decimal digits. Given that one number can encode both astronomic floating-point number using a mantissa and an and subatomic distances with the same nine digits of accuracy, but exponent.
