I need to learn some VB by the 20th of October for my exams but I've procrastinated on it all year so far. Do I have a chance?

VBA is shit. Ask it 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 == 0.3. That cost me a week of debugging finding out why I get results deviating twentyfold from the desired result in a simulation I had to check.

Forced to learn it for the curriculum sadly. Doesn't help that my teacher can hardly teach it.

Most languages would actually "fuck up" here because of precision issues, not just VB. That's basically why you shouldn't compare equalities with floats if you want a correct answer.

Just go to youtube and search for Visual Basic tutorial. Look for the simplest ones first.
VB is really easy.

No, most languages would correctly return "false". VBA lies to you about what it does.

You can't say that a screwdriver is shit when you try to use it like a hammer. You have no argument to begin with

Nice reading skills you've got there.

>VBA is not suitable for anything involving small or huge numbers
That was my point. My argument for that was
>it lies to you about it's accuracy
idiot. /sci/ really attracted too many brainlets.
