String Manipulation in VB2012

String manipulation is an important part of programming because it help to process data that come in the form of non-numeric types such as names, addresses, gender, cities, book titles and more.

Strings can be manipulated using the & sign and the + sign, both perform the string concatenation which means combining two or more smaller strings into larger strings. For example, we can join “Visual” and “Basic” into “Visual Basic” using “Visual”&”Basic” or “Visual “+”Basic”.

Creating A Class in VB2010

In Lesson 4 of our VB2010 tutorial, we have explained the concepts of Object Oriented Programming. Now, let us show you how to create a class object that can calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index).

To create a class, start VB2010 as usual and choose Windows Applications. In the VB2010 IDE, click on Project on the menu bar and select Add Class, the Add New Item dialog will appear.

Select Add Class and the default class Class1.vb will appear as a new tab with a code window. Rename the class as MyClass.vb. Rename the form as MyFirstClass.vb.

In the MyClass.vb window, enter the follow code

Public Function BMI(ByVal height As Single, ByVal weight As Single)

BMI = Format((weight) / (height ^ 2), “0.00″)

End Function

Now you have created a class (an object) called MyClass with a method known as BMI.

VB2012 divides data into different types so that it is easier to manage when we need to write the code involving those data.
