Is the Variant type slower than using other variable types?

Question Posted / nandini


Is the Variant type slower than using other variable types?..

Answer / Shailesh Kumar Pandey

In Visual Basic, the performance difference between using Variant and specific data types like Integer or String is negligible. However, using Variants can lead to slower execution due to their dynamic nature and the additional checks they require at runtime. It's generally recommended to use specific data types when possible for better performance.
