Implicit and Explicit
The Visual Basic compiler provides three options that determine how it handles variables:
◆ The Explicit option indicates whether you will declare all variables.
◆ The Strict option indicates whether all variables will be of a specific type.
◆ The Infer option indicates whether the compiler should determine the type of a variable
from its value.

Dim A As Integer
Dim B As Double
B = Convert.ToDouble(A)
Dim C As Single = Convert.ToSingle(A / B)
