Namingrules
Firstofall,wemustgivethevariableasuitablename,asifeveryonehastheirownname,otherwiseitwillbedifficulttodistinguish.InVB6,thenamingofvariablesmustfollowthefollowingrules:
(1)Variablenamesmuststartwithaletterorunderscore,andthemiddleofthenamecanonlyconsistofletters,numbersandanunderscore"_";thelastcharactercanbeItisatypespecifier;
(2)Thelengthofthevariablenamemustnotexceed255characters;
(3)Thevariablenamemustbeuniquewithinthevalidrange.Theeffectivescopeisthescopeofthereferencevariablethatcanberecognizedandusedbytheprogram—forexample,aprocedure,awindow,andsoon.Thecontentofthescopeofreferencevariableswillbeintroducedlater.
(4)Variablenamescannotbereservedwords(keywords)inVB,orreservedwordswithtypespecifiersattheend,butreservedwordscanbeembeddedinvariablenames,keywordsrefertoVB6Internalsystemidentifierssuchasattributes,events,methods,procedures,andfunctionsinthelanguage.Suchasdefinedwords(if,endif,while,loop,etc.),functionnames(len,format,msgbox,etc.).LikePrint,Print$isillegal,butMyprintislegal.Forexample:strName1,intMax_Length,intLesson,strNo3,etc.arelegalvariablenames,whileA&B,allright,3M,_Number,etc.areillegalvariablenames.
Nota:
(1)VariablenamesarenotcasesensitiveinVB(suchasABC,aBc,abc,etc.).Clanguageiscasesensitive.Differentlanguageshavedifferentrules.
(2)Whendefiningandusingvariables,usuallydefinethevariablenameasanamethatiseasytouseandreadandcandescribetheusefulnessofthecontaineddata,insteadofusingsomedifficultabbreviationssuchasAorB2.Forexample:Supposeyouarecompilingasoftwareforsellingapplesforthefruitshop.WeneedtwovariablestostorethepriceandsalesofApple.Atthispoint,youcandefinetwovariablesnamedApple_PriceandApple_Sold.Eachtimetheprogramisrun,theuserprovidesspecificvaluesforthesetwovariables,whichlooksveryintuitive.Thespecificmethodis:Makethemeaningofthevariableclearbyformingameaningfulvariablenamewithoneormorewords.Forexample,thevariablenameSalesTaxRateismuchclearerthanTaxorRate.
(3)Mixuppercaseandlowercaselettersandnumbersasneeded.Areasonableagreementistocapitalizethefirstletterofeachwordinthevariable,forexample:DateOfBirth.

DeclaringVariabilium
CreatingvariablesinJavaScriptisoftencalled"declaring"variables.
YoucandeclareJavaScriptvariablesthroughthevarstatement:
varx; varcarname;
varx; varcarname;
Aftertheabovedeclaration,thevariableshavenovalues,butyoucanassignvaluestothevariableswhenyoudeclarethem:
varx=5; varcarname="Volvo";
varx=5; varcarname="Volvo";
Nota:Whenassigningatextvaluetoavariable,pleasequotethevalue.
