Review

VBScript's numeric and mathematical functions can be useful in a variety of situations. You can use basic math operators to perform simple math, and more advanced functions are available for complex geometric and algebraic operations. Boolean math plays a key role in logical comparisons, and VBScript provides a number of functions to convert numeric data into specific forms. You can also convert non-numeric data, such as strings, to numeric data in order to work with it.

COMING UP

In the next chapter, you'll build on your number manipulation skills to manipulate string data. Then, you'll move on to date and time data, Boolean data, and more. In fact, by the end of Chapter 9, you'll have mastered more than two-thirds of VBScript's functions!
