Library Functions

Library Functions: Library functions are those In-build functions that are already available in VB.

Types of Library Functions:

• STRING FUNCTIONS

• NUMERIC FUNCTIONS

• DATE & TIME FUCTIONS

· STRING FUNCTIONS String functions are used to work with strings in numerous ways such as changing their cases, extracting some characters from a string, determining whether a character is part of string etc.

· VARIOUS STRING FUNCTIONS ARE:

1. Lcase and Ucase functions

2. Len function

3. Trim, LTrim and RTrim functions

4. Left and Right functions

5. Mid function and Mid statement

6. Instr function

7. Space function

8. String function

9. Str function

10. ASC function

11. Chr function

12. StrReverse function

NUMERIC FUNCTIONS VB supports many Numeric functions that can make your complicated work very easy.

· VARIOUS NUMERIC FUNCTIONS ARE:

1. Int and Fix

2. Sgn

3. Val

4. Rnd

5. Format

> Lcase and Ucase functions:

Lcase ( ) :   This function converts a given string into all lower case.

Syntax :     Lcase(string)

Example :   Print Lcase(“SCHOOL”)

Output :      school 

Ucase ( ) : This function converts a given string into all lower case.

Syntax :     Ucase(string)

Example :  Print Ucase(“school”)

Output :     SCHOOL 

> Len ( ) : This function gives the length of the string i.e. how many characters long the string is. All characters are counted including spaces and punctuation.

Syntax : Len(string)

Example : Len(“kendriya vidyalaya”)

Output : 18 

> Trim, LTrim and RTrim : LTrim ( ): This function removes leading spaces from a string.

Syntax : LTrim(string)

Example : LTrim(“ kendriya”)

Output : kendriya

RTrim( ) : This function removes trailing spaces from a string. 

Syntax : RTrim(string)

Example : RTrim(“kendriya ”)

Output : kendriya

Trim ( ) : This function removes all leading as well as trailing spaces from a string.

Syntax : Trim(string)

Example : Trim(“ kendriya ”)

Output : kendriya

> Left and Right ( ) :

Left ( ) : This function is used to extract a certain number of characters from the

leftmost portion of string.

Syntax : Left(string,no-of chars)

Example : Left(“vidyalaya”,5)

Output : vidya

Right ( ) : This function is used to extract a certain number of characters from the rightmost portion of string.

Syntax : Right(string,no-of chars)

Example : Right(“vidyalaya”,3)

Output : aya

> Mid ( ) : Mid function is used to extract Character from the middle of the given string,

SYNTAX : MID ( STRING, START_POSITION, NO_OF_CHAR )

EG: – Dim S as String

S = “Study Material for Bright Students”

PRINT MID(A,20,6) ‘ Will print Bright.

> Mid statement not only extracts the character but also replaces them with the text we specify.

St = “ Computer Science” ‘ St contain Computer Science this time.

Mid (St,9,1) = ‘ – '

Print St ‘ Now St will contain Computer-Science.

> Instr ( ) : Instr function searches for strings within string. This function also needs

three arguments.

SYNTAX : INSTR(Start, St1, St2, Compare)

-> The first argument is the position in the string to start searching.

-> The second argument is the string to search in.

-> The third argument is the string to search for and

-> The last argument is whether or not you want a case sensitive search.(0 for yes,1 for no)

Compare : 0 – for case sensitive search (Binary Comparison), It is by default search.

1 – for ignoring case (Text Comparison).

Eg: Print Instr ( 1, “Bright Students”,”T”) ‘ will print 0

Print Instr ( 1, “Bright Students”,”t”) ‘ will print 6

Print Instr ( 7, “Bright Students”,”T”) ‘ will print 9 

> Space ( ) : This function by itself produces a certain number of spaces.

Syntax : space(number)

Example:

Dim a, c As String

a = Space(10)

c = "ok" & a & "bye"

Print c

Output : ok bye

> String ( ) : This function is used for producing a string with a certain number of repeating characters.

Syntax : String(number, character)

The first argument is the number of characters.

The second argument is the character code to repeat.

Example :

Dim a As String Dim a As String

a = String(5, "a") a = String(5, "abc")

Print a Print a

Output : aaaaa Output : aaaaa

> Str ( ) : This function converts a number into equivalent string.

Syntax : str(number,character)

Example :

Dim a As String Dim a As String

a = Str("23") a = Str(23)

Print a Print a

Output : 23 Output :23

> ASC ( ) : This function is used to get a character’s equivalent ASCII code.

Syntax : ASC(string)

Example :

Dim a, b As String

a = "India"

b = Asc(a)

Print b

Output : 73

> Chr ( ) : This function returns a string containing the character associated with the specified character code.

Syntax : chr(charcode)

Example :

Dim a As String

a = Chr(65)

Print a

Output : A

> StrReverse ( ) : This function returns a string in which the character order of a specified string is reversed .

Syntax : StrReverse(string)

Dim a, b As String

a = "abc"

b = StrReverse(a)

Print b

Output : cba

NUMERIC FUNCTIONS VB supports many Numeric functions that can make your complicated work very easy.

· VARIOUS NUMERIC FUNCTIONS ARE:

1. Int and Fix

2. Sgn

3. Val

4. Rnd

5. Format

> Int ( ) and Fix ( ) :- This function simply truncates the fractional part .

Syntax :- Int(Number)

Example :- Int ()

Output :- 14

Syntax: :- Fix(Number)

Example :- Fix (-14)

Output : - -14

DATE and TIME FUNCTIONS : This section deals with various date and time functions.

> Now ( ) :- It Returns current date and time.

Syntax : Now ( )

Output : Today’s date and Current Time.

Example : 1- 23-2009 03:23:38 PM

> Date ( ) : This function returns the current date in Variant type in following format

Syntax : Date ( )

Output : 16/6/08

> Date$( ) : This function returns the current date in String type in following format.

Syntax : Date$ ( )

Output : 01-23-2009
