I have a questions that i think have obvious answers but i just wanted to ask some of you guys here.
I come accross every now and then someone who uses a convention in VBA syntax that almost looks like its obfuscated. Its all late bound with no complete declarations and variable symbols are used instead. for example
Ive been programming for decades and this syntax looks foreign to me until i start breaking it down. but i kind of like its conciseness but it just looks difficult to follow.
What are the benefits of coding like this? im particularly interested in the '$' used to declare the string and can use that technique to also return a string!?

Code:
Function ListPaths(dic)
Dim s$, v
For Each v In dic
s = s & v & " --> " & dic(v) & vbLf
Next
ListPaths = s
End FunctionWhat are the benefits of coding like this? im particularly interested in the '$' used to declare the string and can use that technique to also return a string!?
