How can characters be converted to numbers in VB?

In VB, you can use the CInt function to convert a character to an integer. For example:

Dim strNum As String = "123"
Dim intNum As Integer = CInt(strNum)

The variable intNum will hold the integer value 123.

To convert a character to a floating-point number, you can use the CDbl function.

Dim strNum As String = "123.45"
Dim dblNum As Double = CDbl(strNum)

The variable dblNum will hold a floating-point value of 123.45.
