CODE 'problem1.vbs' Dim aString As String = "Hello" Dim bString as String = "World" ' Displays "HelloWorld." ' MsgBox(aString & bString)

Try this CODE Dim aString As String Dim bString as String Set aString = "Hellp" Set bString = "World" ' Displays "HelloWorld." ' MsgBox(aString & bString)

Try this: CODE Dim aString, bString aString = "Hellp" bString = "World" ' Displays "HelloWorld." ' MsgBox(aString & bString)
