Data Types:

•          VBScript supports only one data type called ‘Variant’.

•          The variant data type is a special kind of data type that can contain different kinds of information.

•          It is the default data type returned by all functions in VBScript.

•          At its simplest, a Variant can contain either numeric or string information.

•          A variant behaves as a number when it is used in a numeric context and as a string when used in a string context.

•          Subtypes of data that a variant can contain:

–        Empty, Boolean, Integer, Long, Single, Byte, Double, Date Time, string, Object, Error.
