I'm doing a combination of classes (not the programming type) in this post. I missed class on Monday but I still spent time reading and working through the book at home and read up on numeric data types. I didn't really come across any information that I found to be "blog worthy" in what I read, but we have to post at least once a week.

In one of my other classes, we're learning html. We're not using css or anything else, just html and I couldn't really see anywhere that I could use this -using html for layout and structure is kind of like hooking a slasher up to the back of your car to mow your lawn. Sure, you can do it, but it's messy and inconvenient- other than right here.

What I'm going to do is try to re-create the table from page 219 of the text book, Visual Basic 2008 by Shelley/Hoisington, using the edit html function on this blog:

Data Type	Sample Value	Memory Allocation	Range of Values
Integer	48	4 Bytes	-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,648
Decimal	3.14519	16 Bytes	Decimal values that may have up to 28 significant digits
Double	5.3452307 or 673.6529	8 Bytes	-1.79769313486232e308 to +1.79769313486232e308

So there it is. Unless blogger is completely inadequate at handling tables and html coding, this should look pretty similar to the table in the book.
