vba: what is 97.45 * 1# =?

Question

some_integer = 97.45 * 1#

what does this notation mean? what will some_integer = ?

Answer 1

1# means that 1 is evaluated as a double.

I doubt that would make any difference to that calculation though. The calculation would still give 97.45 if 1 was undecorated and thus treated as an integer. And when the result of the calculation is assigned to the the integer some_integer it will be 97.

Sub Macro1()
    Dim i As Integer
    i = 97.45 * 1#
    MsgBox (i) 'Shows 97
End Sub
