Functions

These are mainly of the form C = F (A), where A is the argument, or input to the function.
Abs
Abs (A) calculates the absolute value of an integer or a real number, so the result is always
positive or zero. A can be any number in the range of the VB system.
Atn
Atn (A) calculates the angle of which A is the tangent. Because infinitely many angles can have
the same tangent, the output of Atn always lies in the range minus π / 2 to plus π / 2. The input
can be any positive or negative value in the range of the VB system.
CDbl
CDbl (A) calculates a double precision real variable, equal to A.
CInt
Cint (A) calculates the integer value nearest to A, which can be any acceptable VBS number.
Cint (-7.4) = -7. Integers are signed 16-bit values in the range -32767 to + 32767.
CLng
CLng (A) calculates the nearest long integer to the value A. Long integers are signed 32-bit
values in the approximate range -21.5 M to + 21.5 M.
Cos
Cos (A) calculates the cosine of any integer or real number, giving an output that is never
greater than plus one or less than minus one.
CSng
CSng (A) calculates a single precision real variable equal to A.
Exp
Exp (A) calculates the value of e
