DISCUSSION:

At the end of this lab exercise, we have run the see how array function on V.B 2008. Arrays

occupy space in memory. The programmer specifies the array type and the number of elements

required by the array so that the compiler may reserve the appropriate amount of memory.

Arrays may be declared as Public (in a code module), module or local. Module arrays aredeclared in the general declarations using keyword. Local arrays are declared in a procedure

using Dim or Static. Array must be declared explicitly with keyword "As". Array are for storing

variable data in fixed or dynamic size. It can be programmed by programmer to make it fixed or

not. For example, if we need to enter one hundred names, it is difficulty to declare 100 different

names, this is a waste of time and efforts. So, instead of declaring one hundred different

variables, we need to declare only one array. We differentiate each item in the array by using

subscript, the index value of each item, for example name(1), name(2),name(3) .......etc. , which

will make declaring variables streamline and much systematic. To do the array, we must first

declare the array name and the data type. After that we must have number of element. As an

example:- Dim Politeknik(15) As String. Politeknik is the variable array name. String is the data

type for the array that mean it will store text. The number of element is 16 where its start from 0

to 15. Array can be set with unknown number. Just put the blank bracket after array name. Array

usually can be on one dimensional and multidimensional array. A two dimensional array is a

table of items that make up of rows and columns. The format for a one dimensional array is

ArrayName(x), the format for a two dimensional array is ArrayName(x,y) and a three

dimensional array is ArrayName(x,y,z) . Normally it is sufficient to use one dimensional and two

dimensional array ,you only need to use higher dimensional arrays if you need to deal more

complex problems. To simplify working with array, ubound (upper boundary) is use to check the

top index of the array. With that, we can process array without refer the declaration statement ofthe project that define how many value the array can hold.

One dimensional ArrayStudent

NameName(1)Name(2)Name(3)Name(4)Name(5)Name(6)

Two Dimensional Array

Name(1,1)Name(1,2)Name(1,3)Name(1,4)Name(2,1)Name(2,2)Name(2,3)Name(2,4)Name(3,1)Name(3,2)Name(3,3)Name(3,4)

CONCLUSION:

In this lab exercise, we have run the array function on VB 2008. We have learn the function of

array and the application on the VB. Actually, array is use to organize the variable number of

data that will be keep by user. So the number of element sometime will be declare by

programmer or it will be infinity. So array is use to organize the variable number of data. It havefixed and dynamic array. Two types of arrays in Visual Basic namely Fixed-size array. The size

of array always remains the same-size doesn't change during the program execution. Dynamic

array, The size of the array can be changed at the run time- size changes during the program

execution.The number of element can be on the bracket ( ). To organize many number of array,

two dimensional array is use. It will use combination of rows and column to get the data,

different from one dimensional array. To simplify working with array, ubound is use to check the

top index of the array.
