What You’ve Learned

This chapter taught you about the core language of Visual Basic—that is, all the statements and functions that perform general programming tasks. At this point in the book, you’ve covered all the Visual Basic fundamentals: using the editor, constructing a program, and performing tasks. Congratulations!

You should now be comfortable displaying simple dialogs and working with numbers, strings, and arrays, and you should know something about working with files.

Don’t worry if you’re not an expert at working with dates, comparing bits, or running other applications. You can always come back later for a refresher on those topics.
