Array like a group of variables that have the same name and data type and are related in some way.Dim intArray( highestSubscript ) As Integer
elements values stored within an arrayYou can refer to an array element by intArray(2)that would be element 2 in intArray.
Subscript/Index A number that identifies a specific element within an array.
Simple variable AKA scalar variable is one that is unrelated to any other variable in memory.

one-dimensional array simply a row or column of variables
two-dimensional array resembles a table in that it has rows and columns
Declaring an array Version 1 = accessibility arrayname(highestSubscript) As datatypeVersion 2 = accessibility arrayname() As datatype = {initialValues}
Array bounds checking Visual Basic does not allow a statement to use a subscript outside the range of valid subscripts for an array.

For Each Loop A special loop designed specifically to access values from arrays and array-like structuresFor Each var As type In arraystatementsNext
sequential search Uses a loop to examine the elements in an array, one after the other, starting with the first.
Interval Property a property of the timer control; the value stored in the Interval property is the number of milliseconds that elapse between timer events
Enabled Property a control property that, when set to False, disables the control; therefore the control cannot recieve the focus, cannot respond to events generated by the user, and appears dimmed or grayed out on the form.

Anchor property Allows you to anchor the control to one or more edges of a form
Dock Property used to dock a control against a form's edge.
ascending order When items are arranged in order, form lowest to highest value
Timer control Allows an application to automatically execute code at regular time intervals.
