  4. Arrays • A simple or scalar variable is one that is unrelated to any other variable in memory • An array is a group of variables that have the same name and data type and are related in some way Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, Second Edition

  5. Arrays (continued) • The most commonly used arrays are one-dimensional and two-dimensional • Programmers use arrays to store related data in the internal memory of the computer Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, Second Edition

  6. One-Dimensional Arrays • A one-dimensional array is simply a row (or column) of variables • Each element in an array is identified by a subscript, which Visual Basic .NET assigns to the variable when the array is created Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, Second Edition

  7. One-Dimensional Arrays (continued) • You refer to each variable in an array by its name and the variable’s subscript Figure 10-3: Names of the variables in a one-dimensional array named states Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, Second Edition

  8. One-Dimensional Arrays (continued) • Declaring a one-dimensional array • Version 1 {Dim | Private} arrayname(highestSubscript) As datatype • Version 2 {Dim | Private} arrayname() As datatype = {initialValues} Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, Second Edition

  9. One-Dimensional Arrays (continued) • Examples of declaring an array • Dim cities(3) As String • Private states() As String = {“Hawaii”, “Alaska”, “Maine”} Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, Second Edition

  21. Updating the Values Stored in a One-Dimensional Array • The sales manager at Jillian Company wants a procedure that: • Allows her to increase the price of each item the company sells • Displays each item’s new price in the uiNewPricesLabel control • uiUpdateButton’s Click event procedure performs these tasks Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, Second Edition

  22. Sorting the Data Stored in a One-Dimensional Array • Arranging data in a specific order is called sorting • Array.Sort method • Can be used to sort the elements in a one-dimensional array in ascending order • Syntax: Array.Sort(arrayname) • uiSortButton’s Click event procedure uses the Array.Sort method to sort the numbers array in ascending order Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, Second Edition

  23. Sorting the Data Stored in a One-Dimensional Array (continued) • To sort a one-dimensional array in descending order: • Use Array.Sort to sort the array in ascending order • Use Array.Reverse to reverse the array elements • Syntax of the Array.Reverse method: Array.Reverse(arrayname) Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, Second Edition

  24. Using a Module-Level One-Dimensional Array • Names application • Needs to display the names contained in a sequential access file • Should give the user the choice of displaying the names in either ascending or descending order • The names array is declared in the form’s Declarations section, making it a module-level array Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, Second Edition

  25. More on One-Dimensional ArraysLesson B Objectives • Create and manipulate parallel one-dimensional arrays • Create a structure • Declare a structure variable • Create and manipulate a one-dimensional array of structures Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, Second Edition
