Size of array in Visual Basic?

Question

I\'ve tried this code in VB:

Dim a(1) As Byte
Console.WriteLine(a.Length)

The output is \"2\". Anyone any idea why?

Answer 1

Array starts from position 0. You are defining two positions.

If you want only 1 position, then:

Dim a(0) As Byte

and you will get a.Length as 1.
