Spliting Strings in Visual Basic

This post demonstrates how to split strings such as "2+2"

Create a Visual Basic Console Application in Visual Studio and Write the following code to split the strings:

Dim i As String = "2+2"
Dim d As Array = i.Split("+")

The Split Method Splits the strings in several parts using the character with which they are separated which is "+" in this case and then it returns an Array. Now write code to convert them to Integer.

Dim a As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(d(0))
Dim b As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(d(1))

Now lets verify that our String was correctly separated.

Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToString(a + b))

Our Console Application should write : 4 .
