This Visual Basic tutorial continues on closely to the to the last tutorial Visual Basic String Addition – Piecing Text Together.
Next we would like to align the results. We would like the output to look as shown below:
In the last Visual Basic: String, Integer and Double tutorial, we were looking at developing a calculator to better understand variables and data types. However the calculator looks very messy, so let’s just clean the calculator up and learn a little bit more.
In the last tutorial we looked at Visual Basic Data Types.
Variables must have a data type. The data type tells the computer how much storage space to provide. It also tells the computer the operations available.
| Data Type | Values | Operations |
| String | Any text, names, addresses, phone numbers | +, <,>,=,<> |
| Integer | Whole Numbers, i.e. 0, 1, 2, -4. Use this when you want to perform math operations. |
|
| Double | Decimal numbers ie; 10.3. Use Double when you want to perform math operations. |
In the last tutorial, we learn’t Visual Basic Input Operators and Variables.
Let’s create a simple program that allows the user to enter two numbers and that displays the total sum of both numbers.

Continuing on from the Hello World program let us personalise the program by asking the name of the user who is using the console.

In the last tutorial, we looked at the Visual Basic: Programming Environment
All tutorials start off with “Hello World” so why break a habit of a life time! The end result will be the program outputs “Hello World” but also teaches you some of the basics to!

In the last chapter of what will be surely a long series of tutorials, I taught you Visual Basic: How To Open Visual Basic. It is basic, but one will presume you have absolutely no idea how to program or open a program. Before we start coding, let me give you a tour around your environment quickly.

Over the next few weeks I want to write tutorials using Visual Basic Express but more specifically in the Visual Basic Command Line Environment. It is the most easiest language to understand and will help learn other Syntax for both Software Development and Web Development.
Please note: There wont be any fluency to how often the posts will be uploaded if it’s three times a day or once a day but check me out on Visual Basic Tutor where I’ll be sure to tweet on new posts.
Facebook and Twitter are both easily used, I personally don’t understand why one would find it difficult to use Twitter or even Facebook! However once you start, you really start to feel the benefits and get addicted! Using just two social media networking sites, you’re able grow you’re business which begs the question, why do so many try and fail?
Redirecting visitors from certain referrals may seem a little “black-hat” however it’s ethical and it’s a great way to offer special promotions to certain users from certain websites. Have you ever took out an advert on a website and wanted to direct those users to certain pages? It’s easy so let me explain.
