Regarding Functions

[sonia sardana]

Private Sub Command3_Click()
Dim a, b As Integer
Dim divide As Double
a = 10
b = 3
divide = div(a, b)
MsgBox (divide)
End Sub

Private Function div(a, b)
div = a / b
End Function

Function return type by default is integer in C. & if we do the same prog in C,it returns 3 not 3.333333....But in VB the function return type is Variant????Right or Wrong?

variant is data type which can hold the data of any type like integer,string,double...Right or wrong?

I want that the fn. return can integer value only by default, if we write
Private Function div(a, b) as double

only then it returns decimal value??

Plz reply frnds.:(

yes its right

variant is data type which can hold the data of any type like integer,string,double...Right or wrong?

yes its right again

I want that the fn. return can integer value only by default, if we write
Private Function div(a, b) as double

only then it returns decimal value??

Just a little modification in your code and you will get exactly what you want..

Private Function div(byval a as integer,byval b as integer)as integer
div = a / b
End Function

or you can try this also...

Private Function div(byval a as integer,byval b as integer)
div = a / b
div=Cint(div)
End Function

hope this helps..
