CS 0004 –Lecture 3 Jan 10, 2011 Roxana Gheorghiu VBA Controls and Variables Controls (components) = building block of a GUI ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ Labels Textboxes Buttons Check boxes Radio buttons Variables = identifiers used in a program to hold some data ◦ Algebra: x=5; y=x*x; ◦ VBA: Dim x as Integer Dim y as Integer x =5 y =2*x Variable Types Each type is design to store a particular type of data Possible data types: Integer: -1000, 10, 0, 20000 Double: -10.5, 0.0, -200.3456 String : “ this is a string”, “anotherOne” Date … 2-phase process Declaration Assignment of value (usage) Create the container Declarations Phase that creates a variable Dim varName as Type Dim name as String or Dim x as Integer or … Rules for variable names: Can only use letters, numbers and underscore (_) Price Must start with a letter or underscore Cannot have spaces As Cannot use special characters Integer Cannot be a keyword Fill the container Assignment of value =gives the variable a value By assigning a value myName =“Roxana”; shoesPrice =30 By assigning a value from another variable newAddress =oldAddress By using arithmetic operations Price As Integer Fill the container Assignment of value =gives the variable a value By assigning a value myName =“Roxana”; shoesPrice =30 By assigning a value from another variable newAddress =oldAddress By using arithmetic operations Arithmetic operations Addition: + ◦ x = 5+5; x=y+5 Subtraction: - ◦ x = 100 -2; myBudget =mySalary -2000 Division: / ◦ z = X/2 Multiplication: * ◦ x = 10*y ◦ y = 2*5; Exponentiation: ^ ◦ y = x^2 ◦ z = 2^3 Arithmetic Shorthand Incrementing Numbers Dim x as Integer x =x+1 OR x+ =1 Decrementing Numbers Dim y as Integer y=y-1 OR y-=1 More Arithmetic Operations Rounding Math.Round(number, precision) Math.Round(2.182 , 1) =2.2 Math.Round(2.182) =2.0 Modulo =the reminder after you divide the two numbers 5 Mod 3 =2 21 Mod 2 =1 Square Root Math.Sqrt(9) Compute the perimeter Write a program that : Allows a user to give two values: length and width reads the values of length and the width computes the perimeter when Calc button is pressed. displays this value on the screen. exits when Exit button is pressed
