This code outputs:
Let us look at what each part does:
"Dim" - this is used to create a new variable
"message" - this is the name given to variable. The name needs to start will a letter and not contain spaces.
"As String" - this tells the compiler what type of information should be stored in this variable.
message = "Hello World!" - Here we are assigning the variable the string "Hello World!"
If we want to change the value further down the program we can just redefine string. here is an example showing that in action
Code Snippet:
Sub a3_variables()
' Declaring a variable
Dim message As String
'assigning the variable
message = "Hello World!"
'utilising the variable
MsgBox (message)
'variables can be reassigned
message = "goodbye!"
End Sub
