Dim Statement

 

Function:

Defines a variable and allocates memory for it.

Syntax:

[ public ] dim name1 [ (bounds1) ] [ , name2 [
(bounds2) ] ]
as type [ (max_string_size) ]

Scope:

Global, HTML and local

Description

public

Optional; may only be used in a global scope. If present,
makes the variable(s) 

public

.

name[1, 2...]

Required. Specifies the name for the variable.

bounds[1, 2...]

Optional. Specifies the boundary (finite size) of a dimension
in an array. Several comma-delimited boundary values
make a multi-dimensional array.

as

Required. Precedes the type definition.

type

Required. Specifies the 

type

 of the variable.

max_string_size

Optional (can be used only when type is string). Sets the
maximum size for a string (default size is 255 bytes).

Details

The dim statement creates a variable in the current scope. It reserves memory
space for this variable. Hence, as part of a dim statement, you have to specify the
type of the variable; specifying the type also defines how much memory will be
allocated for this variable.

When creating strings, you can explicitly define their maximum size by including it
in parentheses immediately following the string keyword. The default maximum
size of strings is 255 bytes, but if you're sure a string will contain less than 255
bytes of data, it is better to constrain it to a lower size (and thus reduce the
memory footprint of your program).

The dim statement can also be used to create 

arrays

. This is done by specifying

the number of elements in the array in parentheses immediately following the
name of the variable. Multi-dimensional arrays are created by specifying the
number of elements in each dimension, separated by commas.

Note that creating a variable using dim does not assign any value (i.e, 0) to this
variable.

There are alternative ways of specifying the number and size of each array
