Hi,
I wonder why no one has ever answered to this question :o

Let me try :

Code:
Dim intNumber1 : intNumber1 = 10

Dim intNumber2 : intNumber2 = 5

Dim strDump : strDump = Empty

For i = 1 To intNumber1

    strDump = strDump&"A"

Next

For i=1 To intNumber2

    strDump = strDump&"A"

Next

Msgbox Len ( strDump )

I know this is a very crude solution, so i will be looking to improve on it myself and if anyone of you can suggest a better solution , please do that ...

you are alsmost there arescool
but your code would return 31, Which is not the answer expected here.

how about this?

Code:
intNum1=10

intNum2=5

For i=1 to intNum1

    strDump=strDump & i & "X"

Next

For j=1 to intNum2

    strDump= strDump & j & "X"

Next

arrDump = split(strDump,"X",-1)

msgbox "Sum of " & intNum1 & " & " & intNum2 & " is " & UBound(arrDump)

Using pure vbscript

Code:
a = 10

b = 5

d = now

d1 = DateAdd("s", a, d )

d1 = DateAdd("s", b, d1)

result = DateDiff("s", d, d1 )

MsgBox "Sum of "& a & " and " & b & " is " & result
