I couldn't remember if I posted this or not, so I tried searching and going through all the threads I posted and couldn't find anything so I decided to post it.

I was going through one of my old projects and saw that it used this.

Picture:

Snippet:

Code

Dim theString$ = "Some string."
For Each c As Char In theString.ToCharArray
Console.Write(c)
System.Thread.Thread.Sleep(43)
Next
'Console.ReadLine()

I always thought this was pretty cool. I hope y'all do too.

Have fun!

This is Actually pretty cool, Thanks for showing this, :)

I am interested why you choose the number 43 :)

Thanks. :D

Idk honestly, lol. I just fucked around with it for a little while and decided 43 looked just about perfect for my personal preference, lmao.

I always enjoyed using sleeps in console applications. (Odd thing to say?)
I figured there would be a more proper way but I guess it's this.
Except I did it manually, but thanks for this.

No problem. Glad you like it.

I tried thinking of a different way to do it, because like you I thought there would be a more legit way but I couldn't think of anything, lol.

Surprised nobody's bashed you for this, it's very unimpressive. Ah damn I hate the syntax when people use symbols to explicitly specify a type "$" for string etc, very unreadable in my opinion. Don't know if you know already but the compiler doesn't require you to explicitly define a type when you use the 'Dim' keyword. If you where to type for example, "Dim TheLights = false" and hovered your mouse over 'Dim' it'd indicate that it knows that the object was of type boolean. I'm only putting that out there because I guess your justification, or anybody else's for that matter for using these characters to define a type is that it shortens code / is easier to type when in fact you can make it shorter yet while not using what I imagine are depreciated methods.

I respect your opinion, but that's all it is, an opinion.

Thank for your comment.

Thank for your comment.

Its even less then an opinion, its an preference.

[SomeWhiteGuy]

That too. Couldn't think of the work atm, lol.

Yea. 43. What a random choice of a number. Hahaha. You should make it play a key stroking sound when it happens.

It is pretty fucking random. I just think that it's about perfect for the effect, lol.

That would be pretty awesome, lol.

Yeah, the compiler is smart enough to automatically assign a type to a variable, like some other languages, but that is not a good practice IMO.

Nice little release you have here.

This is quite simple, but unique. Cool idea and nice share :D

I have seen a few members use a suffix character to define datatypes. I try to get members to avoid legacy code but this goes back way beyond Microsoft and Visual Basic. This is BASIC. I can't personally see any appeal in using a single suffix. Each to there own though :)
