What does dim mean, relative to programming code?

Question

I'm very simple minded when it comes to code, just the same I would like to learn it anyway. Can anyone direct me to a good site or book?

Answer 1

I think you're talking about VB. there it is used to declare and allocate storage space for variables, for example:

Dim Quantity As Integer = 10

Answer 2

Dim is usually used in Visual Basic programing.

Dim is used to Declare (or Dimension) a variable before it can used.

To learn programing, you have to first decide which programing language you want to learn e.g. C,C++,C#,Java,Visual Basic and lots more.

The sites and books for reference vary with the language that you want to learn.

Answer 3

Dim is a keyword in Visual Basic for creating a variable.

Example:

Dim someVar as variant

Other programming languages tend to create variables in different ways.

Java for example uses:

String someVar = "foo";
