In VB, there are several ways to assign values to an array.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You can use an array initializer to directly assign values to an array by using curly braces when declaring the array, for example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Dim<\/span> arr() As<\/span> Integer<\/span> = {1<\/span>, 2<\/span>, 3<\/span>, 4<\/span>, 5<\/span>}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Assign values one by one using a for loop: You can use a for loop to assign values to an array one by one, for example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      Dim<\/span> arr(4<\/span>) As<\/span> Integer<\/span>\r\nFor<\/span> i As<\/span> Integer<\/span> = 0<\/span> To<\/span> 4<\/span>\r\n    arr(i) = i + 1<\/span>\r\nNext<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        \n
      1. By using the Split function: you can split a string into array elements, for example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        Dim<\/span> str As<\/span> String<\/span> = \"1,2,3,4,5\"<\/span>\r\nDim<\/span> arr() As<\/span> String<\/span> = str.Split(\",\"<\/span>)\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          \n
        1. By using the CreateInstance method of the Array class, you can dynamically create an array and assign values to it, for example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          Dim<\/span> arr As<\/span> Array = Array.CreateInstance(GetType<\/span>(Integer<\/span>), 5<\/span>)\r\nFor<\/span> i As<\/span> Integer<\/span> = 0<\/span> To<\/span> 4<\/span>\r\n    arr(i) = i + 1<\/span>\r\nNext<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
