Do parenthesis in array declaration matter?

Does (Excel) VBA dis开发者_开发问答tinguish between:

Dim Ghadafi as Variant

and

Dim Ghadafi() as Variant

?

First syntax is ONE variant variable, while second represent an array of variant.

1. You can do Ghadafi = 5.25
2. You can do
   Redim Preserve Ghadafi(3)
Ghadafi(1) 5.25
Ghadafi(2) = 6.10
