Hi

I have few variables which have default value of 0. This value will change
during macro execution. Is there any way to declare 0 value to these
variables while defining those at the beginning of the code? Means when we
define variable as Dim cnt as integer, can I define 0 value there itself?

Thank You

Hi,

When you dim your variable by default it is set as nothing which for an
integer variable is the same as zero which can be demonstrated with this bit
of code

Dim cnt As Integer
MsgBox cnt + 10

If you try this you will find the message box displays 10 so cnt was zero

This is correct. Here by 0 I want to say any value. Means suppose if I want
to assign default value of 2 (or any other value) to my variable, then is
there any way to assign it when we declare the variable? We can assign it in
separate statement like cnt = 2, but I want to assign it I at the same time
we declare the variable.

AFAIK there's no way to do that in a single line, you must dim your variable
and can then define a value for it

Dim cnt As Integer
cnt = 6

The only way that you can combine a dim and non-empty value is declaring an
optional parameter within a routine ie Optional 'variable' as integer = 3.

It would be a nice feature if it combined into a standalone Dim statement

Good luck

You can put two logical lines on a single physical line like this:

Dim myConst as Long: myConst = 12

Personally, I would find this more difficult to read. (Maybe it's just me.)

It is not just you... I find that hard to read also. Plus, you are not
really saving anything significant be doing it this way either... it is
still two separate statements.

Actually, when the code is simple, I do use multiple logical lines on a single
physical line:

Select case something
case is = aaa : somethingelse = 5
case is = bbb : somethingelse = 6
case is = ccc : somethingelse = 7
case is = ddd : somethingelse = 8
End select

But, again, it's a personal preference.
