DIM stands for declaration in memory. the words DIM is used to declare a variable. Yes Correct, I used to declare variable. I think it means Dimension, Dimension Of the memory location The original Basic language did not require or have a type definition. All variables were numeric with no distinction between integer and real/float. Assigning space for a variable was easy, they were all the same type and size. Some Basic implementations, using variable name modification, later added character variables by a dollar sign appended (varname$) and an integer type with a percent sign (varname%) leaving the unsuffixed version as it originally was. You were allowed to have all three versions of a name in play at the same time so Basic still had no type declarations. For an array, you needed to tell Basic how much space to allocate for the array. Some of the more used languages at that time (e.g. fortran) used a"Dimension" keyword for this and Basic similarly used a shorter DIM statement. Being that the designers of VB were implementing a version of Basic and they did need a type declaration, I would guess they decided to use the closest thing available: A DIM statement.
