Visual Basic: Maths?

[kenyi]

I wan to make a calculator. Can anyone else tell me some mathematical commands??

which commands to you know, i do VB at college, tis going quite slowly but i know the following:


Dim a as integer 'Declares variable a as integer (whole number)
Dim b as integer 'Declares variable b as integer (whole number)



There are different types of variables, long i think hold a number that can include decimals so


Dim a as long 'Declares variable a as long (number with decimals)
Dim b as long 'Declares variable b as long (number with decimals)



then you can do the following:
(basically normal maths stuff)


a=25
b=5
print str(a) & "divided by" &str(b) &"equals "& str(25/5)



str(variablename) makes the variable act like a string in the instance it is used.

so some more maths

a=30
b=6
print a*b
print a+b
print a-b


there are other operations you can do.

Dim a as long 'Declares variable a as long (number with decimals)

A Long doesn't have any decimals. It just whole number with a bigger range than an Integer.
