Syntax help

Variables

Variable is a name given to the storage area in order to identify them in our programs.

Simple syntax of Variable declaration is as follows

Dim variableName [ As [ New ] dataType ] [ = initializer ]

Variable initialization

variableName = value

Conditional Statements

1. If

If condition-expression Then 
    'code
End If

2. If-else

If(conditional-expression)Then
   'code if the conditional-expression is true 
Else
  'code if the conditional-expression is false 
End If

3. If-else-if ladder

If(conditional-expression)Then
   'code if the above conditional-expression is true 
Else If(conditional-expression) Then
        'code if the above conditional-expression is true 
    Else
        'code if the above conditional-expression is false 
End If

4. Nested-If

If(conditional-expression)Then
   'code if the above conditional-expression is true
   If(conditional-expression)Then
         'code if the above conditional-expression is true 
   End If
End If

5. Select Case

Select [ Case ] expression
   [ Case expressionlist
      'code ]
   [ Case Else
      'code ]
End Select

Loops

1. For..Next

For counter [ As datatype ] = begin To end [ Step step ]
   'code
   [ Continue For ]
   'code
   [ Exit For ]
   'code
Next [ counter ]

2. For..Each

For Each element [ As datatype ] In group
   'code
   [ Continue For ]
   'code
   [ Exit For ]
   'code
Next [ element ]

3. While

While conditional-expression
   'Code 
   [ Continue While ]
   'Code
   [ Exit While ]
   'Code
End While

4. Do-while

Do { While | Until } conditional-expression
   'Code
   [ Continue Do ]
   'Code
   [ Exit Do ]
   'Code
Loop

Do
   'Code
   [ Continue Do ]
   'Code
   [ Exit Do ]
   'Code
Loop { While | Until } conditional-expression

Procedures

Procedure is a sub-routine which contains set of statements. Usually Procedures are written when multiple calls are required to same set of statements which increases re-usuability and modularity.

Procedures are of two types.

1. Functions

Functions return a value when they are called.

[accessModifiers] Function functionName [(parameterList)] As returnType
   'code
End Function

2. Sub-Procedures

Sub-procedures are similar to functions but they don't return any value.

Sub ProcedureName (parameterList)
'Code
End Sub
