LBound
 
Returns the lower bound of an array's dimension

Syntax

Declare Function LBound ( array() As Any, ByVal dimension As Integer = 1 ) As Integer

Usage

result = LBound( array [, dimension ] )

Parameters

array
an array of any type
dimension
the dimension to get lower bound of

Return Value

Returns the lower bound of an array's dimension.

Description

LBound returns the lowest value that can be used as an index into a particular dimension of an array.

Array dimensions are numbered from one (1) to n, where n is the total number of dimensions. If dimension is not specified, LBound will return the lower bound of the first dimension. If dimension is less than one (1) or greater than the total number of dimensions (n) in the array, the result is undefined.

Example


Dim array(-10 To 10, 5 To 15, 1 To 2) As Integer

Print LBound(array) 'returns -10
Print LBound(array, 2) 'returns 5
Print LBound(array, 3) 'returns 1
