vba: what is 97.45 * 1# =?

Question

some_integer = 97.45 * 1#

what does this notation mean? what will some_integer = ?

Answer 1

some_integer will be 97.45.

It's used to treat 1 as a double rather than any other type. (E.G 1 can be treated as an integer, but in this case we want to treat 1 as a double)

You can think of it as some_integer = 97.45 * 1# as being the same as some_integer = 97.45 * 1.00
