This function is for BASIC compatibility. It is not available in pure JavaScript projects.
VarType(variable)
Description
VarType returns an integer that indicates the type of a variable. The required parameter, variable, is any variable that doesn't contain a user-defined type.
When variable is an array, the value returned is equal to the array constant plus the constant that specifies the element-type.
Table 25: VarType return values
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| vbEmpty | 0 | Empty |
| vbNull | 1 | Null |
| vbInteger | 2 | Integer |
| vbLong | 3 | Long |
| vbSingle | 4 | Single-precision floating-point |
| vbDouble | 5 | Double-precision floating-point |
| vbCurrency | 6 | Currency |
| vbDate | 7 | Date |
| vbString | 8 | String |
| vbObject | 9 | Object |
| vbError | 10 | Error |
| vbBoolean | 11 | Boolean |
| vbVariant | 12 | Variant |
| vbDataObject | 13 | Data-access Object |
| vbByte | 17 | Byte |
| vbArray | 8192 | Array |
Example (Basic)
Rem VarType Example 'VarType returns variable type as an integer Dim nInteger, nSingle nInteger = CInt(44) Print 44 & " is VarType " & VarType(nInteger) nSingle = CSNG(99.44) Print 99.44 & "isVarType" & VarType(nSingle)
Output
44 is VarType 2 99.44 is VarType 4
