Module 5

Computers can perform mathematical calculations much faster than human beings. 
However, the computer itself will not be able to perform any mathematical calculations 
without receiving instructions from the programmer. In VB2010, we can write code to 
instruct the computer to perform mathematical calculations such as addition, subtraction, 
multiplication, division and other kinds of arithmetic operations. In order for VB2010 to 
carry out arithmetic calculations, we need to write code that involves the use of various 
arithmetic operators. The VB2010 arithmetic operators are very similar to the normal 
arithmetic operators, only with slight variations. The plus and minus operators are the 
same while the multiplication operator use the * symbol and the division operator use the / 
symbol. The list of VB2010 arithmetic operators are shown in table 5.1 below:


Summary 
In this chapter, you learned how to use various mathematical operators in Visual 
Basic 2010 in writing code for mathematical calculations. You also learned how to 
create some programs to solve mathematical problems like Pythagoras Theorem. 
Besides, you learned how to create the BMI calculator.

A function is similar to a normal procedure but the main purpose of the function is to accept  a certain input and return a value, which is passed on to the main program to finish the  execution. There are two types of functions, the built-in functions (or internal functions) and  the functions created by the programmers.  The general format of a function is   FunctionName (arguments)  The arguments are values that are passed on to the function.  In this Chapter, we are going to learn two very basic but useful internal functions of Visual  Basic, i.e. the MsgBox( ) and InputBox ( ) functions.  Summary  You learned that a function is a procedure that accepts an input and returns a value,  which is passed on to the main program to finish the execution. You also learned  that the format of a function is FunctionName (arguments).  In section 10.1, you learned to use the Msg () function to produce a popup  message box...

Managing VB2010 Data   Getting to know various data types in Visual Basic 2010   Assigning values to the variables   Getting to know various arithmetic operators in Visual Basic 2010  In our daily life we come across many types of data. For example, we need to handle data  such as names, addresses, money, dates, stock quotes, statistics and more everyday.  Similarly, in Visual Basic 2010, we have to deal with all sorts of data; some are numeric in  natrure while some are in the form of text or other forms. VB2010 divides data into different  types so that it is easier to manage when we need to write the code involving those data.  4.1 Visual Basic 2010 Data Types Visual Basic classifies the information mentioned above into two major data types; namely  the numeric data types and the non-numeric data types.  4.1.1 Numeric Data Types  Numeric data types are types of data that consist of numbers, which you can compute  the...
