1.What is VB.Net?
Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented computer programming language
that can be viewed as an evolution of the classic Visual Basic (VB), implemented on the .NET
Framework. Microsoft currently supplies two main editions of IDEsfor developing in Visual
Basic: Microsoft Visual Studio 2012, which is commercial software and Visual Basic Express
Edition 2012, which is free of charge. The command-line compiler, VBC.EXE, is installed as
part of the freeware .NET Framework SDK. Mono also includes a command-line VB.NET
compiler. The most recent version is VB 2012, which was released on August 15, 2012.
Visual Basic 2005 introduced features meant to bridge the gaps between itself and other "more
powerful" .NET languages, adding:
The memory in our computers is organized in bytes. A byte is the minimum amount of memory
that we can manage in C++. A byte can store a relatively small amount of data: one single
character or a small integer (generally an integer between 0 and 255). In addition, the computer
can manipulate more complex data types that come from grouping several bytes, such as long
numbers or non-integer numbers.
Next you have a summary of the basic fundamental data types in C++, as well as the range of
values that can be represented with each one:
bool Boolean value. It can take one of two 1byte true or false
values: true or false.
float Floating point number. 4bytes +/- 3.4e +/- 38 (~7 digits)
double Double precision floating point number. 8bytes +/- 1.7e +/- 308 (~15
digits)
long double Long double precision floating point 8bytes +/- 1.7e +/- 308 (~15
number. digits)
* The values of the columns Size and Range depend on the system the program is compiled for.
The values shown above are those found on most 32-bit systems. But for other systems, the
general specification is that int has the natural size suggested by the system architecture (one
"word") and the four integer types char, short, int andlong must each one be at least as large as
the one preceding it, with char being always one byte in size. The same applies to the floating
point types float, double and long double, where each one must provide at least as much
precision as the preceding one.
