An array is a collection of logically related data items, where each item can either be accessed in a sequential order, or through supplying its index position.Consider this:
Here we declare an index of dimension 5, which later on, comes to store six names, as, an index in an array starts at 0.
Then for loops dumps entire array onto HTML page. People familiar with for() {.} loop of JavaScript will notice that for.next loop of VBScript is less cryptic.
Since now we have learnt how to create a VBScript array, let us try to sort this array. We'll sort array in ascending order, that is, from lowest to top most in alphabetical array.
So what's logic?
1. Compare first name with second name 2. If second name is lower than first name, then swap 3. else 4. Compare first name with third name 5. If third name is lower than first name, then swap 6. else 7. Compare first name with fourth name 8. If fourth name is lower than first name, then swap 9. else 10. Compare first name with fifth name 11. If fifth name is lower than first name, then swap
So by time we have reached 11th step, we have lowest name at first position.
The second round starts at second index index, as first we already know is lowest.
1. Compare second name with third name 2. If third name is lower than second name, then swap 3. else 4. Compare second name with fourth name
and so on
I hope you've understood logic now. Let's see how it looks programmatically:
For years I’ve been a stay-at-home mom, and I have only recently gone back into work force. I’ve done pretty well for myself, but I could have really saved some time and frustration in beginning if I’d just known a few things about how to use a computer.I come from era of typewriter and adding machine, and computer was really intimidating to me at first. When I first entered business world, I lived in constant fear of losing my document or crashing my machine. The word processor was my enemy, as was business email. The only thing I could figure out was how to open incoming messages. This was fine for trading those cute stories about angels with my friends, but it had my boss in a rage. Now, those of you who know difference between an attachment and a hyperlink can stop reading, but if you’re as confused as I once was, read on. I’ve got some useful tips.
First, face your fear. The computer is just a machine. It’s not going to yell at you or blow up. Don’t be afraid to press a key or click on an icon (those little picture boxes that link you to programs and things.) Quite often I would end up staring at my screen afraid to move, because I didn’t know what to do next and I was afraid of consequences of making wrong decision. I wasted so much time. Just dive in. If you end up doing something that looks funny or wrong, you can almost always find a solution.
Second, save your work. This is so important in word processing programs. Have you ever been typing along, only to hit a wrong key and have your entire document disappear? Boy, I sure have. This doesn’t have to happen. If you just remember to hit "save" (under file menu on most all word processors) every few sentences, most you’ll ever lose is a phrase or two.
