Earlier this week I was given an excellent definition oh Hungarian Convetion naming ie the h in hObjects.
Could someone either point me to a resource in plain English or explain to me in plain English the Datatypes? Integer Long Short Array etc... this is what I found on the documentation: Datatype Description Default value Size in memory Boolean True or false. FALSE 1 byte Byte 0...255 0 1 byte Short -32.768...+32.767 0 2 bytes Integer -2.147.483.648...+2.147.483.647 0 4 bytes Long -9.223.372.036.854.775.808...+9.223.372.036.854.775.807 0 8 bytes Single Like the float datatype in C. 0.0 4 bytes Float Like the double datatype in C. 0.0 8 bytes Date Date and time, each stored in an integer. NULL 8 bytes String A variable length string of characters. NULL 4 bytes Variant Any datatype. NULL 12 bytes Object Anonymous reference to any object. NULL 4 bytes Pointer A memory address. 0 4 bytes on 32 bits systems, 8 bytes on 64 bits systems. For a novice like me I have made assumptions for the past year that turned out to be wrong and I would like to make sure I grasp what this is saying and not assume I do.
