Question

Okay, so for all i know a string is basically an array of characters. So why would there be string arrays in VB? And what differences are between them?

Just the basics, the way they operate that’s what i’m interested in.

Answer 1

Say you need to store a list of names, it might be 100 names, or 200 names.. it depends from case to case.. what will u do?

String array can solve such case

Try this:

Dim Names() As String
ReDim Names(3) As String
Names(0) = "First"
Names(1) = "Second"
Names(2) = "Third"
Names(3) = "Fourth"
Dim l As Long
For l = LBound(Names) To UBound(Names)
    MsgBox Names(l)
