Variable

Hi David

Thanks for your question

A variable is an area of memory used to store a piece of data.

When a value is passed to a procedure, either via keyboard or as the result of a calculation, it must be stored in a variable. Before passing a value to a variable it is essential that the variable is first "declared". At this point the type of data that the variable will accept is also specified, e.g.

 Dim MyVariable as string"

This creates a variable that will take string data.
