Declaring Variables
Declaring a single variables
Declaring Multiple variables

Dim Variable1
public Variable2
private Variable3

Declaring Multiple variables
We can declare multiple variables by separating each variable name with a comma.
Example:
Dim Coordx, Coordy, Coordz

1. Must begin with an alphabetic character (A...Z,a...z) or an underscore character
2. Cannot contain an embedded period
3. Must not exceed 255 characters
4. Must be unique in the scope in which it is declared.

Assigning value to Variables

Variable1 = 10

Variable Constants

We can create variable constants using const keyword.

Const Pi = 3.14

An array variables is used to store multiple values in a single variable.
Dim VehicleName(2)
VehicleName(0) = "Volvo"
VehicleName(1) = "Santro"
VehicleName(2) = "Mahindra"
