ASP Variables

Variables in ASP are used to store and manipulate data dynamically. ASP supports VBScript variables, which are declared using the Dim statement and can hold different types of data, such as strings, integers, and dates.

Key Topics

Declaring Variables

Example

<%
    Dim name
    name = "John Doe"
    Response.Write("Name: " & name)
%>

Explanation: This example demonstrates declaring a variable using Dim, assigning it a string value, and displaying it dynamically on the web page.

Assigning Values

Example

<%
    Dim age
    age = 30
    Response.Write("Age: " & age)
%>

Explanation: Variables in ASP can be assigned values dynamically. This example assigns an integer value to a variable and outputs it to the client.

Variable Operations

Example

<%
    Dim x, y, sum
    x = 5
    y = 10
    sum = x + y
    Response.Write("The sum is: " & sum)
%>

Explanation: Variables in ASP support mathematical operations, allowing you to perform dynamic calculations, as shown in this example.

Key Takeaways

  • Variables in ASP are declared using the Dim statement.
  • They can store different types of data, including strings, integers, and dates.
  • ASP variables enable dynamic operations and enhance interactivity in web applications.
