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.

vbLong 3 Long
vbSingle 4 Single-precision floating-point
vbDouble 5 Double-precision floating-point
vbCurrency 6 Currency
vbDate 7 Date

Example

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
