Question

Is there any way I can store +, -, *, / in some kind of variable/object

Something like this
dim xTransaction as object = "+"
Then Instead of writing 100 + 50, I write 100 xTransaction 50.
Otherwise I have to write lots of code each for adding, substracting,
multiplying and dividing.

Please advise. Thanks.

I did this useing an enum and a function. Kinda long but it works.

Public Enum Ops
Add
Subtract
Multiply
Divide
....
End Enum

Public function PerformOperation(num1 as double, num2 as double, operation
as Ops)

Select case operation
Case Ops.Add
return num1 + num2
Case Ops.Subtract
return num1 - num2
...
End select
end function

hope it helps.

It still did not answer my question. Currently I am doing something like
your example.
Using this I still have to write if or case to check the operation type.

Any other suggestion.
Thanks, Kartic

Dear Kartic,

Without knowing much about what you are doing...

Perhaps delegates would be useful. Once created, you can call the
delegate with your arguments, whatever function it's going to perform.

Have a read about them. If nothing else, it's a fascinating topic :-)

Regards,
Fergus
